In general, I consider it discourteous to send patches for code
owned and maintained by someone else directly for inclusion in the
kernel rather than to the author, except perhaps for critical bugs.
I agree with your concerns Leonard. But I think it is necessary to
come up with a solution for the case where someone makes a resonable
change to an interface which is used by many files in the kernel,
encompassing perhaps 40 or 50 maintainers who would need to be
contacted. What do you suppose be done in such a case?
