  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

to review it it's there.

  BTW I'm late for rc2, I will make it tomorrow I guess, sorry about
