There is just one important rule when posting to lkml: Cc the right people! I.e. look in MAINTAINERS who might be responsible. Or if some patch broke something, Cc: the patch author. And Cc akpm all the time -- he does very good book keeping and is unlikely to lose any patches. lkml has too much traffic, most people just skip over the postings and are likely to miss something. If you don't get responses, just repost (maybe with more people Cc'ed). > Maybe if someone else better > known posted my patch, it would get attention. I think this is totally irrelevant.
