Heh, I don't even have them in my tree any more, I was assuming that
if they were good they'd be sent back to me...

I guess I can go fish them out from my old emails, but I actually was
expecting to just get them from you.

I do actually maintain my own branches for *some* things, and merge
them myself, but they tend to be for areas that I feel I'm
co-maintaining (ie notably vfs and mm that I still feel I'm involved
in).

In other areas, I may send out patches, but I don't feel like I'm a
maintainer, so I then think that "the real maintainer can decide if
these patches are good or not".

And I would very much hope that people don't take said patches _just_
because they come from me. They should be judged on their own merits,
and then occasionally people can mutter "Christ, what drugs is Linus
on _today_?" and just throw my patches in the garbage.
