Please keep in mind that this is a per-maintainer process, and each maintainer handles things differently. Individual maintainers may expect me to send a ping like I did, or to resend the patch, or they may not reply because they dislike the patch and they don't want to be bothered with a discussion. Some even go ballistic if they get an e-mail with more than 80 columns of text. Negotiating a minefield sometimes seems easier than submitting kernel patches :-(. I can't even find out by browsing the regulator mailing list since it appears that there is no such list. Guenter
