Yes, I hoover up unloved patches from the mailing list. But only from this mailing list, and there are probably lots of potentially-useful patches on other lists which get lost.
However I have a personal i-dont-do-typo-patches policy. Resending them to kernel-janitor-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net would be a good idea. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
