Yes, that's true (and, probably on next week, it will be at the branch staging/for_v2.6.40 of the same git tree). If you see anything pointing to the wrong place, please help us fixing it, by editing our wiki or sending us patches. > And what's the destiny of this patch in particular?

If your patch weren't caught, then one of the following things happened: 1) Patch was broken. Some emailers love to break patches by mangling whitespaces/tabs; 2) The patch is not inlined, but, instead, it is on a mime message, and the patch has a wrong mime type (the right type is text/x-patch). If the attachment type is text/plain, patchwork will try to get a patch there using some euristics. If the mime type is application/binary (as some really bad non-Linux emailers do), the patch will be silently discarded, as patchwork doesn't know how to handle a binary blob; 3) Some bug at patchwork; 4)The email were not received by patchwork.kernel.org. Your patch seems correct, so it is probably (3) or (4). One of the common issues for (3) is python bad habit of aborting scripts if they contain a character upper than 127 and the codeset is wrong. Just try to re-send it to the ML and see if Patchwork will catch.
