No, lib/lzo has no identifiable maintainer. I suggest you proceed as follows: - Post the entire patch series to lkml for review (I'd like a cc please) - After that process has played out, ask Stephen to add this git tree to linux-next. - After that process has played out, ask Linus to pull the tree during a merge window. I haven't actually looked at the patches yet, but if they are as extensive as they sound, it would be appropriate for you become the formal maintainer of lib/lzo. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
