So I saw the patch twice in email , but neither time did I get the
feeling that I should apply it. The first time Eric responded to it,
so the maintainer clearly knew about it and was reacting to it, so I
ignored it. The second time Eric resent it as email to various people
and lists, and I didn't react to it because I expected that was again
just for discussion.

So I'm not blaming you as much as Eric. If a maintainer expects me to
pick it up from the email (rather than his usual git pulls), I want
that maintainer to *say* so. Because otherwise, as mentioned, I expect
it to come through the maintainer tree as usual.
