You're misreading. I see no flipping out here. I'm simply saying that obvious defects should be corrected sooner rather than later. I'm also saying that the trivial tree should have some visibility about whether or not a patch or series will be handled by the trivial maintainer or not.
I fetch his git and look at the log of the branch to see which of the documentation patches I forwarded are there. That said, there's no guarantee they'll go in from there because other maintainers often grab them and put them in through their trees.
Jiri has not responded to this point.
He did. Twice.
Silence about the status of patches that extends for months is not good.
He has a public git tree. It's listed in his MAINTAINERS entry. I've found that if a patch isn't in there, he hasn't picked it up yet. (I've been feeding Documentation patches through his tree, hence my interest in this thread.)
