- patch 1, 3-10, number 2 never showed up
..... (steal from other talk)


List of things from one Linaro developer sent me over the past month:
- 10 patch series with one sentance description for the whole series, saying what it did, but no idea why it is needed.
- half of the patches didn't even build
-
- second round of 10 patch series with no description as to what changed
- random patches sent that replaced individual patches in this series, with no numbering as to which one it was
- third resend of patches without any ordering specified
- fourth resend of patches, described as second version.
- insisted that two of these patches HAD to be applied for 3.9-rc1
- I applied them based on someone's comments I trusted.
- required follow-on patch to actually work properly
- subsystem maintainer returned from vacation, noticed the patches did not
work at all, I had to revert all 3 1 day before 3.9-rc1 merge window opened up.

- End result, I will not accept patches from this developer at all.

These were obvious things.

It is in my self-interest to ignore your patch
