 I think you should take it as: between the 291 - sorry, 300 by now - other
patches, this series has been overlooked. Again, if you have ideas that can help
to reduce the backlog from 300 to, say, 30: everybody will be glad to hear it!
Well, except if your idea is to stop sending patches of course.

 That's why I mentioned that 92% of the patches you submitted have already been
applied. The other buildroot contributors really appreciate the work you do. And
share your frustration that too many patches tend to linger, and need to be
rebased all the time. In fact, Thomas and Peter have the additional frustration
that all of their time is taken up by applying other people's patches, leaving
no time to work on their own ideas.

 Regards,
 Arnout
