Michael S. Tsirkin, mst at mellanox.co.il, is the maintainer of the 
mstflint tool. I believe Michael lives in Israel, so he may not see 
your message until Sunday. 

Bug reports/patches would be appreciated, but Michael would be the one 
to review them.

FYI: The procedure for submitting patches is outlined in the OpenIB 
FAQ:

In addition to openib-general, I'd suggest including Michael in the to 
field.
