linux-kbuild and linux-doc dropped both of my Kconfiglib patches, while linux-kernel accepted them:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/1/439 (initial)
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/5/174 (version 2)

Any idea why? Looked over SubmittingPatches but couldn't find anything obvious.

AFAIK, lkml has a message size limit of 300 KB or 400 KB, while kbuild and doc have a limit of (probably) 100 KB.

Version 2 is only 13k though - it builds on the first one.

OK, then you can try some of the Supplementary tools at
http://vger.kernel.org/ and/or check the taboo list to see if your patch includes things that are not allowed:
http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html#taboo

If all else fails, you can ask <[email protected]> .

Never mind, it appears at http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-kbuild/
now. Strangely, so does this thread. Maybe I just got lucky with the timing, or the archive updates work in mysterious ways..

Excuse the spam.
