Some numbers and thoughts on the stable kernels

> "volunteers are still our leading source of fixes"
Well, I tried to get the patch for deadlock issue our folks have nailed down and fixed (it was rather worked around upstream) along at least into 2.6.27.y since this summer, and so far rather failed to bring attention to the issue:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15658

Tried to forward the message with brief explanation to LKML on Aug 28 but seems like it didn't pass through (at least not to lkml.org archive).

I've re-read all of tux.org/lkml just in case, but still need advice on *how* volunteers should pass the fixes for such non-obvious issues?

Thanks anyone who might find some time to aid with this one.
