Ah, so this is somewhere where we're quite different to Linux. There is one single tree, and there are a small group of people with commit access. We're "THE REST" in the maintainers file. Jan can commit, as can I, and several others. The role of committers is (technically at least) to take any patch from the mailing list which is suitably acked, and commit it. So, in principle you have nothing further to do here. As this is one of Jan's patches, I'm sure he'll include in in the next set of patches he commits. It can happen that patches fall between the cracks, so it is generally helpful for maintainers to double check and ping on IRC/email/etc if there are patches that appear to be outstanding. ~Andrew
