This really brings up a very important point. As Doug has said before, since there are quite a few patches floating around on the SCSI list and other discussion of structural alteration in there, could we not have our own bitkeeper repository for the SCSI subsystem to keep them all in (and so that we can roll our own patch sets from)?
Jens, you're now listed as the SCSI maintainer so you are the person who is supposed to serve as a conduit to Linus for all of the SCSI patches. You would also be the logical person to look after a SCSI bitkeeper repository, so will you look after one for us? I can volunteer to help, and I'm sure others will.
I'm getting pretty tired of the snide comments from HW manufacturers and other OS interests about the state of our SCSI subsystem (not to mention unfavourable comparisons from the IDE guys). Perhaps something like this could galvanise the community and serve as a catalyst for a general streamlining of the subsystem.
