    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.
