Just for the record, Peter is co-maintaining the lockdep code
with me (and is doing a superb job with that) and as such he has
no obligation whatsoever to interact with every contributor - as
long as at least one maintainer considers every patch submitted.

Personally, reading various past discussions i can understand
Peter not wanting to work with Ben Hutchings for some time -
i'll look at his future patches and will consider them.

Thanks,

Ingo
