Yes, I have the nick "pixelcluster".

I think my preference would more or less be 2). That is, if for some
reason no maintainer answers, after some time the patches should be ok
to merge (but if a maintainer does explicitly ack/R-b the patch it can
be merged sooner). I'll try my best to not leave patches unanswered so
hopefully 2) stays a rarity :)

Sure, why not? Basically like it's been so far as well, right? It didn't
seem to me like the patch volume for TTM is particularly large at least
so far, so something like a separate branch might not be worth the
hassle.

Best,
Natalie
