In the small amount of time you've been working in the kernel I've
seen 3-4 Maintainers completely give up on you and 2-3 driven close to
the end of their tether (myself included).

Ranting and demanding will not work well for you here. Please, for
your own sake, learn some diplomacy and be courteous to others on the
list. If people are replying it means they're trying to help. Jumping
down their throats is not conducive to your success and will not
result in a win.
