What should I sent directly to you and for what should I pray that someone picks it up?
E.g. I have a some patches that add missing MODULE_LICENSE's to modules and some build fixes (some of the patches already sent to linux-kenrel, some are still in my private testing) that IMHO belong into 2.6.25.
I also have sparse fixes and similar stuff pending.
And what about the removal of the broken v850 port I've already sent five times to linux-kernel?
Etc.
