But this is the smaller part of the problem. The bigger part is that I
have asked for clarifications on the patch and they didn't provide
anything. So if you are picking patches where a reviewer comments are
ignored, what lesson are you teaching the submitter, that he can just
continue with this practice? why you letting this go that way?

Are you going to comment on that to the submitter? if not, they are
going to continue with this practice.

How are we supposed to realize from patchworks + your github branches
that patches that were submitted for 4.9-rc are picked for 4.10? this
is very confusing and error prone too.

Please comment also on the bunch of patches I pointed you where the
copy you have picked into your tree (pulled it from somewhere?) isn't
what was submitted.

Or.
