That is not the point. For my part I still like to know what is going on, at
the very least to be able to avoid conflicts, and some maintainers tend to get
a bit tense if they are not informed. Besides, I would consider it to be a
common courtesy to inform maintainers about activity related to their area of
responsibility.

If you want the patch to go through some other tree, fine with me; I can drop it
and give it an Ack. Your e-mail does not mention a target tree, though, and my
psychic capabilities seem to be a bit erratic lately ;).
