There's probably a bit of a process problem here - these patches are all being posted as part of big and apparently controversial threads with subject lines in the form "ARM / ACPI:" so people could be forgiven for just not even reading the e-mails enough to notice changes to their subsystems. Is it worth posting those patches separately more directly to the relevant maintainers?
I think it's beneficial to post the entire series as one thread, but to change the subject line of each patch to adequately reflect the affected subsystem.
Just changing the subject lines to be more suitable would help, but given the painful thread it's probably worth going the extra step if the lack of these reviews is a causing problems - I know that even with a suitable subject line if I'm busy then I'm fairly likely to zone out something in the middle a big series that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
True, I was merely expressing a preference. A lot of series containing irqchip changes tend to have build dependencies outside of drivers/irqchip. So I like to see the whole picture to decide how best to handle the patches.
I suppose the ideal solution would be to have a "mute sub-thread" option in the MUA. But that doesn't help us today. :)
Whichever way they do it is fine by me.
thx,
Jason.
