Whatever you need to fix, you need to send new patches.

My 2 cents: * Technically, I'm listed as maintainer still. I'm not always prompt, but I try to eventually get around to stuff (or at least see that Francesco reviews). I believe the previous implicit agreement would be that the wireless-drivers maintainer would wait for an Ack from sub-maintainer(s) before applying, unless they were truly trivial. I don't require that, of course, if you'd like to take things on your own Johannes, but that was my previous understanding. * I'm also used to seeing email replies when patches get applied. Kalle used to do that (presumably from some kind of push-time automation?), but I see you don't. You're of course free to do this however works best for you, but I find such emails useful for all interested parties (authors, reviewers, etc.). For example, if I thought the patches were controversial and were on my ToDo list, I'd probably speak up sooner. Brian
