Same. I'm actually not reading patches on the mailing list any more. If you want my input, put it in the system where I don't have to waste my time tracking if it's been merged or not and whether you responded to my comments from the last round. I don't think we're quite to "make sure they've added the tags and click the button" safely since we don't have pre-merge testing happening (you have to trust that the submitter tested, and master hasn't regressed things since then). I'm working on that.
