you can try, but most of the patches that come in for 83xx are fine,
just without that 'mpc83xx: ' up front (esp. the 'mpc' part).

Personally, I'm in favour of dynamic learning and adapting of our
contributors, rather than establishing hard rules - I don't want to
have to reject a patch for something so easy to fix.

Might I suggest we use a more sophisticated patch tracking tool than
sorting inboxes, such as patchworks?
