../.. Picking up that thread late ... I might have myself been the culprit of that and I don't enforce such policies on devs on powerpc either, as long as they don't have an expectation of that stuff being merged before at best the next merge window. Especially RFC stuff. People are seeking comments about something or some approach to a problem, this is clearly not intended for merging and the comments might not necessarily have to come all from the maintainer, so I don't see why posting to the list should adhere to a specific rhythm. I've certainly myself never taken much attention about when I was sending a patch, only knew what to expect about when it might end up being reviewed / merged.
