There's a note a few lines down that says: "NOTE: The patch will not be queued to stable trees until it is upstream." Otherwise, no, there's no rule that says we can't look at patches before they are upstream. We can't queue them up, but we sure can poke them. The reasoning behind this is that it's easier to get replies (and backports) from folks who are actively working on the patch now, rather than a few weeks later when Greg sends his "FAILED:" mails and gets ignored because said folks have moved on. -- Thanks, Sasha
