Sorry to hear that, we are a lot of people who really appreciate your 
work!  With your recent move to hg it could perhaps be easier to share 
the burden, so to speak?

Are there anyone else out there willing to help Yann?

I'm still learning, but I could at least start by reading up on hg and 
clone your tree. (I am a bit of a bzr and git man myself though, so I've 
been lazy...)

Maybe the best way for you would be if we set up a better patch approval 
process?  When a new patch is suggested (like mine), some other people 
start evaluating it and give it ++ or --, and if enough people approve 
your job is simply to pull it in?  Not too unlike how Linus does it...

I see, I was a bit surprised myself when I started looking at how the 
buildroot guys had done it.  I, perhaps wrongly, assumed they had 
already checked if existing patches had been applied upstream.

Thanks, you're always too kind!  A simple RTFM would have been 
appropriate in this case. ;-)
