The impression I have is that Samsung folk waited for the merge window
before sending their patches to the mailing list - there have been
about 320 messages attributable to 'samsung' or 's3' subjects since the
merge window opened.

This is excessive, and isn't really practical - it swamps the mailing
list and makes it very easy to miss more relevant stuff during the
merge window.

So, please send the majority of patches *before* the merge window and
try to avoid sending anything but fixes during the merge window itself.
The merge window is for code which has _already_ been merged and has
been in linux-next to be merged into Linus' tree.  It's not for new
code to be reviewed.
