Hm... 

That's strange. 

Now that I look on external achives, I can indeed for example fine
your "fix up comment about CONFIG_BFIN_BOOT_MODE" posting.

OK, got it. My mistake was to just "grep" for the Subjects, and this
didn't work because your subject lines were so long that they were
broken into two lines. Sory...

This is not a question of trust, it's a question of  rules.  And  the
rule  is that the submitter of a patch is supposed to provide cleaned
up patches on the mailing list, and only when all issues have been
resolved the custodian should pick up the stuff.

Yes, definitely. How else should anybody know if  you  ever  saw  the
comments?  please  keep in mind that your situation is special as you
are both the submitter of the patch and the custodian who  will  pick
it  up.  Please  try  to  act  as  if  you were two different persons
communicating only over the mailing list.

I don't have anything new to add to that topic. I wrote on Tue, 22 Apr

Please don't try to make me pull rejected code.
