Ordinarily I'd expect you to send it to Linus. I tend to merge important-looking bugfixes in my tree in case maintainers lose them (happens regularly). I'll then start spamming the maintainer with the patch. If the maintainer remains dead then I might merge it myself, or I might tag it for -stable backporting and try again in the next kernel. If the maintainer can't be bothered setting up a pull request then he can just send an acked-by and explicitly ask me to merge it up and I'll then add it to my next approximately-weekly Linus patchbombing. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
