I guess I need to resurect my patch checker, tune it and make it send warning on patches not ACK'ed or reviewed automatically, or even better make it a web page to avoid boring people. http://libvirt.org/git/?p=patchchecker.git;a=summary I had that patch on my radar and though I took an awful long time to review it it's there.
