I'm still here. :-) Just look one more line down below
Doug's line. There I am.

I'm responsible for the kernel / driver integration end of it
anyways.

I'll find out what's up with Doug, but this is my issue to deal
with anyways. And yes, I'm looking at it. I've got a couple of other
patches on the back burner that are overdue for integration.
