Just merging the patches won't benefit me directly\n- I have maintained them in my tree for a couple of years now with very\nlittle effort.  For sure, I could benefit if they get merged and then\nsomeone improves them further - that was the point of posting them - but\nthen I'm not the only benefitor.\n\nThe workflow including getting acks for patches by email is not handled\nwell by upstream git right now.  It would surprise me if no one uses it\nif it's upstream, as you seem to suggest.  But maybe most people moved\non and just do pull requests instead.\n\n-- \nMST\n"}]}
