This seems unlikely.  Just merging the patches won't benefit me directly
- I have maintained them in my tree for a couple of years now with very
little effort.  For sure, I could benefit if they get merged and then
someone improves them further - that was the point of posting them - but
then I'm not the only benefitor.

The workflow including getting acks for patches by email is not handled well by upstream git right now. It would surprise me if no one uses it if it's upstream, as you seem to suggest. But maybe most people moved on and just do pull requests instead.

Read the whole thread, see it on lore, or plain text.
