Perhaps, but I'm not claiming that my comments here are of any inherent value, nor am I threatening to deprive LWN readers the awesomeness of my "free review or hints".

Why yes, I have:

Two chunks of Linux kernel code bear my name -- One wifi driver that I heavily cleaned up [ie rewrote large chunks of], mainlined and still maintain, and another that I originally wrote but someone else mainlined (after some rewriting).

(So yes, I have first-hand knowledge of just how much work mainlining something can be. Incidentally, the latter bears quite a few similarities to this situation -- Only I had the maturity to not complain about how those folks doing the work I was unwilling to do were somehow doing it all wrong. I even tossed some patches their way to help out)

I'm also a major contributor to Gutenprint, having written drivers for several dozen photo printers.

Beyond that, there's a long tail of mostly-minor contributions to various F/OSS projects. I try to give back whenever possible, and my track record shows that I play well with others.

Any more questions?
