Well, you certainly can contribute in having them merged. Even testing

Depends on the status of the patches. I've reviewed them yesterday and I
don't agree with the design. If you have more knowledge of how those

the feature.

Well, for us that means that we don't have anybody willing to give input
on the feature. I don't have experience nor hardware for testing it and
don't have knowledge on how e.g. addressing works.
