You could /a/ try to come to an agreement with him about a less brittle protocol, or /b/ think of your mail as an "announcement" rather than a "request" (for your peace of mind) and follow up with a repost of the announcement if you come to know that your updates did not appear in Linus' tree when the end of a merge window is near.
(Of course I cannot really assess your requirements and workload, not being maintainer of a large or highly connected kernel component myself. So ignore if I'm suggesting something stupid here.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-==- -==- =-=-- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
