I usually expect that if the subsystem maintainer is involved, he's
the one to pick it up.

If James' ack was "Linus, please take this directly, I'm busy and have
nothing else pending", then I really would prefer to hear that exact
thing. Otherwise I'm just going to ignore the patch "safe" in the
knowledge that clearly the subsystem maintainer is aware of it.
