Developer reputation matters for somewhat controversial patches being applied as well as non-controversial and obviously correct patches being ignored. Your reputation means most all of your patches fall into the latter category. Look up "wheat and chaff". Your patches are mostly chaff. You have produced many trivial patches that have caused new defects. That is simply unacceptable. Especially when you don't immediately fix the problems you cause. If you would stop producing the trivial and instead channel your efforts into actual bug fixing and logic corrections and not just style modifications with no code impact, your patch acceptance rate would increase. Yes, your daily patch production rate would fall. Likely every reader of LKML but you would be happy. I have given you many suggestions for actual structural improvements to kernel code. You have ignored _all_ of them and I am unlikely to try to interact with you any longer until your wheat:chaff ratio changes. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
