Oh. So what was the question again?

As far as I know, there's nobody in DRI-land who actually prepares and
sends patches. Fixing that would be a good first step ;)

I've had a 130k DRM patch in -mm since February 8th. Presumably it's out
of date. As far as I know nobody is pushing more recent patches upstream.

What's the process here, and who should I be dealing with?

Thanks.
