It's been frustrating watching patch submissions be ignored for over a year now. At least add Hector as a co-maintainer and allow him to land stuff people have been using outside to get Broadcom Wi-Fi to *work*. Having stuff sit on the pile and be *ignored* is frustrating for contributors and users, and massively disincentivizes people from working in upstream Linux. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
