Rajiv,

I've mentioned this at least once before: as maintainer of TPM, ideally, 
what you should be doing is collecting the TPM patches, testing them in 
your own tree, then pushing them to me with an indication of where they 
need to end up (e.g. bugfixes for current linus vs. next), preferably via 
git.

This is a significant part of what distinguishes maintainership from 
simply developing or reviewing code.
