This might turn into just a question to Linus than really a discussion topic. It seems to me (and it has been the case for a few past years, so it's probably not an issue at the end of the day) like there are many places where we are violating a natural tree-like hierarchy our development model has, with many people sending pull requests directly to Linus instead of going through sub-maintainers. Is this really a problem? If so, how to deal with it? -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs
