Al was in the To: list of all 7 patches.

The maintainers (ext4/ext2/vfat) were also in the To: list.
Trouble is, MAINTAINERS says this:
MEMORY MANAGEMENT L: linux-mm@kvack.org W: http://www.linux-mm.org S: Maintained F: include/linux/mm.h F: mm/
There's a list, but no specific contact person. That's why I had to start asking around about who actually pushes mm changes to Linus.
As for Al Viro, he's still listed as the VFS maintainer; isn't he resting? I guess he did nominate you for the holding off of morons (like me). :)
