Although I don't know Lai personally, from my experience working with him past several months on workqueue, I strongly doubt he has dark urterior intenions. The biggest problem probably is that his communication in English isn't very fluent yet and thus doesn't carry the underlying intentions or tones very well and he tends to bombard patches in quick succession without much explanation inbetween (during 3.8 cycle, I was receiving several workqueue patchsets days apart trying to solve the same problem with completely different approaches way before the discussion on the previous postings reach any kind of consensus). A lot of that also probably comes from communication problems. Anyways, I really don't think he's trying to take claim of your work. At least for now, you kinda need to speculate what he's trying to do and then confirm that back to him, but once you get used to that part, he's pretty nice to work with and I'm sure his communication will improve in time (I think it has gotten a lot better than only some months ago).
