How can you tell if a patch was accepted?

I was wondering how you know if your patch was accepted? Sometimes when I submit a patch people reply with things I did wrong. Other times I get no replies. Does that mean something was wrong with it? One time Alexey Dobriyan said it was rejected. How do I know if my patch was OK?

As long as you just send the patch to the kj mailinglist and you get no comments it will most probably show up in the next release and be submitted upstream by the kj-maintainer when he has free tuits (to cite maks ;-)

When you Cc: maintainers, other mailinglists or akpm, your patch might get submitted to lkml/Linus directly. Some maintainers do Cc: you on these occasions, some don't.

Hope that helps a bit,
Tobias
