Hi,

I submitted a patch recently by sending a mail to this mail list, but
I don't know how it can be accepted or rejected? Is that enough just
send a mail to here? Because the patch is a very important fix to my
usage and I don't want to apply it every time by myself.

Best Regards
yours xzer

Did you read Documentation/SubmittingPatches?

Where is the Documentation/SubmittingPatches? I didn't see anything
about submitting a patch on the site of git, and I also tried to find
something about it on git wiki, but I got nothing.

I've added a link on the wiki [0] to the kernel.org 'cat blob' view.

[0] https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page#Starting_points

Did you really? I can't find it, neither on the linked page nor a
matching entry on the recent changes page:
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Special:RecentChanges

Yup, I really did: http://awesomescreenshot.com/00184rv7c. No idea why
it's not showing up in the history though.

Wait what.... it's only showing the change if I'm logged in. It's
probably pending moderation or somesuch.
