Really? I remember some lengthy discussions about a patch that ended with a rather, er, grungy moderator asking me multiple times for a rewording of the README part of the patch, because he didn't like the patch.
So probably it's not exactly a "resonant mind" then.
So you define the resonance frequency. Which I find not very cooperative. Don't we have the same rights, like to reject (or debate) _your_ enhancements?
What's so bad with sending a couple of patches first? Everybody else does.
Let me ask you a question: why do you maintain your own kernel tree? Probably because its easier than getting your patches accepted. I want to avoid that situation happening again in our micro-cosmos. (And that's what it really is, be fair.)
Let's stop this discussing, it costs but time. If you want to help,
Wolfgang, please don't always turn away from inconvenience like that. I know it's tedious, and I know that some people out there shake their heads, but we're dealing with Open Source here, so the rights of maintainance should be discussed openly as well. Actually I'd be interested in other peoples opinion on this. Do we need aprobation time to be allowed to continue working on U-Boot[ARM] again?
