You're far from the first to have a difficult experience submitting code through LKML. It is regrettably common. > At about the same time, I also asked the developers list here, to try to > give a heads up *before* the RFC was published.

I don't know why that happened, but in response, I raised the issue at last week's Ubuntu technical board meeting and Colin Watson is going to investigate. The list may be short of moderators, or in need of more consistent attention. Most of the traffic is from list members, but we do get occasional messages from outside (like yours) which we want to see. > Code review is welcomed. The kernel team seems to be overloaded at the moment and no one has had a chance to review this issue yet. Sorry this has taken so long. -- - mdz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/740065 Title: TCP Cookie Transactions (RFC-6013) API updates -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
