Maintainers have a slightly better memory than a goldfish, but given the high volume of patches, we don't remember threads from 2016. Also, all our infrastructure has limited memory, this patch is not in lore, and it is not in patchworks. So in terms of getting merged, it does not exist. We do however recommend that if a patch has not been merged within 2 weeks, it is rebased, any Acked-by: etc tags are added and the patch reposted. Andrew
