Let me know what I can do to correct this to avoid > confusion. It did chain to the original thread; that's how I was able to figure out the context. However, it looks like in your reply, you set the subject to be: [PATCH] Where we are for this patch? And the problem is if someone had deleted the original e-mail chain --- for example, optimizing the kernel stack is not one of the subjects that I normally closely track, I had already deleted those e-mail chains. So all I saw (and I suspect all Al saw) was a message with the above subject line, and no context. If you had kept the original subject line, then those of us who mostly focus on file system stuff would have known that it's an area which is covered by other maintainers, and we wouldn't have deleted your query and let someone else respond. Cheers, - Ted P.S. I personally find the use "git-send-email" to reply to be so much of a pain that I just use a non-google.com address to which I can use a traditional threaded mail-reader (such as mutt) and I can send e-mail without having to worry about the DMARC nonsense. :-)
