As Arnout said, all our patches are definitely appreciated, and most of
them are applied really quickly. Some of them indeed take more time,
but there's nothing personal against you: we have ~300 other patches
sitting in patchwork.

However, you are almost never helping us by reviewing/testing patches
from others. Due to this, instead of applying your patches, I have to
review and test patches from other contributors. Conclusion: if you
want your patches to be applied faster, the best way is to help the
community by reviewing and testing patches. Your review and test effort
would be really valuable: you are a long-time Buildroot developer, so
you know all the best practices, usual pitfalls and all, which means
that we trust your review.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
