As Greg already commented, there are some patches that you should probably drop. When you send out a series with the name of a subarchitecture, it's best to leave out the patches that only address device drivers. I had initially sorted these into the subarch series instead of the drivers series but that turned out to be a bad idea. Sorry I didn't remember about this detail when we first discussed the way forward on my patches. Also, it's better if you have a slightly shorter Cc list and for each patch take only the people on Cc that are actually interested, rather than send the whole series to everyone that get_maintainer.pl lists for one of the patches. If the Cc list gets too long, that often means that the mails get dropped from the mailing lists, and people might ignore them when they don't understand why they were on Cc to start with. It does help to have everyone on Cc for the initial mail though. You can add 'Cc:' tags in the individual patches to help you with that. This is another thing I never got around to for the patches I did not send out. Finally, when sending patches from someone else, you have to add your own Signed-off-by: line below the others (i.e. mine). Everyone who is handling the patch by sending it to someone else should have a Signed-off-by in the email until the point when it gets applied to a git tree that is pulled into the Linus' tree. Arnd
