Yes, we did, but for the one in SCSI ... as I said the original
conflict resolution with our tree was eventually found to be slightly
wrong so there was an email thread over it.

There's not much I can do about the one in tpmdd-devel because it's not
my tree. Even Jarkko can't do much more than tell James Morris for the
Security tree, and I think this came up after it had already been
pulled into that tree.

Well, there was in the SCSI pull request, but the only reason I
remembered is because I'd made a special note of the potential resolve
problem when this came up on the SCSI mailing list. The original merge
conflict email came 6 weeks before the merge window, which is why
everyone had had time to forget.

What about resending the conflict reminders at -rc7 ... that way we
only have a week or two to forget again?

The other issue is that one of the potential trees only got notified
directly (the char-misc one) because the tpmdd tree takes an indirect
pull route. I'm not sure what we can do about this one.
