It would be impratical and useless to post everything during the merge window now, but if we can get everyone to pass through linux-next, the posts will be evenly distributed and it would make sense to require everyone to post their changes to the list at the same time. Right now, some developers already always post their changes. Jeff, Greg and Bartlomiej come to mind, and I must say that I'm always interested in performing a quick look, just in case something really obvious catches my attention (which never happens). Willy
