No, Linus is the maintainer :) Seriously, whatever goes into Linus' tree for
2.6.18 will get into OFED more or less automatically.  My point was to help make
sure things get tested.

First, we are doing OFED tests here in Mellanox and if I drop patches in
kernel_patches/fixes directory they will get run here nightly even before Linus
pulls them. Unfortunately this harness at the moment does not know how to build
kernels, so it is less relevant for testing release candidates, and more
relevant for testing code backported to various distro's kernels, OFED-style.

Further, I am running my own git tree on my development machines, so if I put
stuff there you'll get more bug-reports.
