Hello Custodians and Mailing List Aficionados,

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but patchwork is starting to collect a rather large amount of cruft.

I occasionally jump onto patchwork and do a little housekeeping by marking updated patches as 'Superceeded' and anything applied by Wolfgang as 'Accepted' (There may be a few patches that have been applied to custodian tress that I marked as 'Accepted' when really they should have been marked as 'Awaiting Upstream')

I really don't mind doing this housekeeping, but I would like to make a few suggestions that will make the work a little easier:

• If you are a custodian: o When you apply a patch to your repo, can you please assign it to yourself in patchwork and set it to 'Awaiting Upstream' o Reply to the ML with 'Applied to<repo>/<branch>' o When you send a pull request, create a bundle with all the patches that are to be pulled (you can create the bundle early and add patches as you apply them) o When Wolfgang pulls your repo, go to the bundle and mark all the patches 'Accepted'

• If you are a patch submitter: o Visit http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/ o Search for your patches by following the 'Filters'link and entering your name o Send and email (with 'patchwork' somewhere in the subject) to the ML with a list of patches that you submitted say more than one month

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/135526/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/135699/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/135697/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/135698/

That's the list of patches sent in January, still no progress.

  ago. For each patch, please indicate if the patch is:
    * Superseded - By another patch (either by you or someone else)
    * Not Applicable - The patch can be ignored (was an RFC, was due
      to a misunderstanding, another patch did the same thing, etc)
    * Applied - Has been applied (state the repo and branch)
    * Rejected - Patch has been officially rejected
    * Waiting - You believe the patch is still valid but has not been
      applied (send a ping as a reply to the patch on the mailing list
      as well

I marked the patches as `awaiting upstream'.

Awaiting upstream means that the patches have been applied already, and are waiting for Wolfgang's pull. I suspect this is not the case for your patches. If it is the case, then there's probably no need to mention it, as Wolfgang will eventually pull that tree.
