I would risk saying that in Ingo's case those areas are frequently more
inter-connected than i.e. wireless driver changes and core networking ones...

..and yes, I did take a look at 2.6.33 staging merge before writing my mail.
I think that it was too big personally but it was still only 235 commits:
commit 0e2f7b837600979d5b6f174a6ff695b85942e985
Merge: f58df54 032fec3
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6: (235 commits)
1815 networking commits means almost 8x more and while LOC amount for staging
is much higher, networking changes affect 2x more files.
