Temporary fbdev maintainership for 3.8 merge window
Hi Florian, all,
Florian told me he's very busy for the time being, and this probably last at least until sometime early December. The merge window is coming near, and instead of everybody sending their fbdev related patches directly to Linus, I offer my services as a temporary fbdev maintainer for the next merge window.
Florian, say if this is not what you intended (the details were left a bit open in our private emails).
I don't have the capacity to really review much of the patches, so I'd probably only pull things that are quite clear or specific to one particular driver.
If you have just a few patches, I can apply them directly. If you have more, please send a proper pull request to me.
If you still have some fbdev related fixes for 3.7, send them very soon, as the next -rc may be the last. I'm planning to send a pull request with omapdss fixes tomorrow.

Tomi,
I have a set of nine patches that I posted on October 16th:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-fbdev/list/?submitter=timur
These are intended for 3.8.

Please send me a pull request. It's much easier for me to pull than apply bunch of patches.

Ok, that will take a while. I don't have an external repository that I can use. I would need to create one on github first.

What about for 3.9? Do you know who is handling fbdev patches? It seems Florian is still MIA, and a patch that I had posted two months ago has missed the merge window.
