e.g. my devfs patches never got added to boot-floppies to my knowledge
and I never got told what would be wrong with them.
For the mklibs.py changes Falk Hueffner was luckily intrested and I
can prod him physically so he coauthored and got them added. Without
him I wouldn't have bothered trying to write patches due to my
boot-floppies experience.
