Thanks for your effort on collecting all these in one place. Given that you are the submitter/reviewer of most of the patches hitting this mailing list, this effort is two times valuable. Since I don't have any experience about patch creation, I can't give any opinions but more questions if they are welcome. 1) I wonder why patches are not submitted to LAK also. Sometimes I read some complaints on LAK about there being many platform specific development lists around. Some people insist that LAK should be the central place for *any* kind of arm-linux development. While I agree that LAK is not the place to talk DaVinci specific development, isn't it reasonable to CC LAK while submitting patches? I really don't have any intention while asking this. I'm just wondering the reason behind current methodology. 2) How can we track down submitted patches' status? For example I'm compiling my git kernel at the moment and I don't know if I should apply anything else on top of it. I think I should check git history and compare it with the mailing list messages? 3) I know that there is no one maintaining this tree currently and Kevin Hilman is performing this task at his own will. However, I wonder if there is a way to track what is supported on the git kernel. For example, you prepared a list on this a while ago. Then some patches submitted, mostly by Troy Kisky, and now I'm not sure about the latest status. I would maintain a wiki page on this if I were competent. Of course kernel source is the main place to look for answers, but some kind of double checking would be more than helpful. 4) Even though you wrote patch attachments are accepted, I think inlines are still prefered. Right? 5) Do you think acking or replying with "reviewed by:" statements to the submitted patches is a good practice or not? I'm not asking for myself of course.
