Honestly, it is not just the low traffic, it's also that most of the
patches (90%?) are drivers that hardly anyone cares about.  There is
very little core work going on in linux-scsi, which would be a lot
harder to discuss and review (making heated tones more likely to
happen).  This is not what happens in other areas (net for example, just
to remain within drivers/).

This I completely agree with, and you set a great example of civility.
