    SubjectRe: [GIT PULL v2] Update LZO compression
    Hi all,

    is there some official maintainer who feels responsible for
    pushing the LZO update to Linus?

    Otherwise I also could issue a pull-request on github, but somehow I
    don't think that this is the preferred workflow.

    Cheers,
    Markus
