According to the 'MAINTAINERS' file, nobody. So everything related to
the topic goes through you :-)

That's why I did not pressed you. I sent you the patch something like
two weeks ago, but I know you have a very big amount of email, and many
other things to test/apply/reject/whatever. I just noticed that what I
sent to you and Linus had been merged into the 2.5 tree, which motivated

As stated previously, there is no one for this... I only got positive
feedback about my patches by Robert Love, but as you he did not have the
hardware/time to test.

You're the boss ;-) As I said, I got at least 3 successful feedbacks for
this patch, and the fact that Linux got it into the tree kinda confirms
my thought that there might not be too many things broken in it. The
choice of putting it into 2.4.17 or 2.4.18 is entirely yours, and I
accept it whatever it is. Keep me informed ;-)
