When somebody posts a patch to a piece of code you maintain it is your responsibility to respond to it. That's what being a maintainer means.
There are a ton of trivial/Coccinelle fixes posted that nobody has done anything about. I'm not talking about spelling fixes or whitespace churn. Many of these patches look valid to me. There are also a few non-trivial patches that have gotten no attention from the relevant driver maintainers. People such as Hannes, Johannes, Tomas and Christoph are reviewing *your* submissions, providing the mandatory impartial review tag that permits your patches to go into the main tree. You can not rely on these people also taking on the burden of reviewing third party changes to your code. That really is your job as the driver maintainer. Every patch that touches code that you own demands a response from you. Every. Single. Patch. We review your changes. You have to review everybody else's. Thanks! -- Martin K.
