Also in [0], [1], etc. you aren't demonstrating a great deal of maturity, so I don't think it's appropriate for you to be added at this time. I really don't think a 'catch all' category should be getting arbitrary extra reviewers in any case. Please take some time to contribute to the kernel, establish yourself, and then look to reviewership for a specific category.
