Then please work with the network maintainer, as he has a separate stable queue that he tests and then sends to me, I do not apply stable patches directly for the network subsystem.
Have you looked at the stable patchwork queue to verify that these are not in there already?
thanks,

I'm currently working on stable submissions for networking. The person to ask for this kind of stuff is me, not Greg.

Is there a way (git, http, mailing list) to know where things are when a patch has been removed from patchwork [1] and has not appeared in Greg's tree [2] ?
I can take it as a signal that it will either appear shortly in Greg's current queue or signal a problem but a confirmation that I have not missed an information channel would be welcome.
Thanks.

Usually it's only a week or so at the most that this gap happens, why does it matter?
You can watch the [email protected] mailing list and see the submission by David of the patches, and then my ack of them later when they hit my tree, is that sufficient?
thanks,
