Well, it has Signed-off-by from a person who is listed as a maintainer
of fs/ceph (Zheng).  We share the same tree for three components: rbd
(drivers/block/rbd.c), cephfs (fs/ceph) and libceph (net/ceph) which is
used by both rbd and cephfs (we should probably split libceph into its
own MAINTAINERS entry).  The volume of commits is not that high and
we prefer to not clutter our 30-40 commits per cycle with a bunch of
merges, so when one of us rebases the committer stamp gets wiped.

As for github, is that a bad thing?  ceph-client.git is certainly not
the only github tree in linux-next.

Thanks,
