Why the hell are you even wondering?
You didn't send the patch to me. It's that damn simple. Harvey did.
I do *not* troll the internet for random patches to apply. But I do apply
random patches that fix build errors etc, WHEN THEY ARE SENT TO ME.
That said, I'm not asking people to send patches directly to me when there
is a maintainer that can handle it, but obviously when people do send
obvious patches that I feel comfy applying and make sense to apply, I'll
do so.
In other words, don't send cleanup patches to me when there is a
maintainer, but if there is a build fix or an oops/security fix that you
want to go into my tree asap, feel free to short-circuit maintainership.
This should be neither new nor surprising to anybody.
Linus
