Actually, I'm not a developer living in block layer, and I'm not subscribed to linux-block mailing list. I check bugs reported by syzbot, and analyze and try to write patches. I can't afford monitoring patches of all mailing lists. In order words, I can't review your patches and can't provide detailed feedback (unless you cc me with detailed explanation of why it is safe to make such change). Bugs are merged everywhere but I can't prevent bugs from getting merged. I monitor bugs reported by syzbot. It is exactly like patches just appear in a tree somewhere.
