I checked the mailing list archives, and I see nothing to support your
assertion.  In fact, quite the contrary.  What I found was this
thread:

https://selenic.com/pipermail/kernel-mentors/2015-June/001283.html

At this point, it's not just your lack of technical skills, but the
fact that you constantly seem to have an alternate view of reality
which is why I think Greg K-H has the right of things.

I'm done.  I've tried to gently pursaude you to go elsewhere, and
tried to show how both your technical skills and your attitude are
going to be primary blockers for being able to be a contributing
member of the community.  It's clear you are unwilling to take my
advice, and at this point, I'd recommend that all other kernel
developers stop trying to work with you.

{sigh}  Somehow my filters broke and I started to get your emails again,
they will be fixed after this response.

As I just said, in public, on lkml, in response to one of your recent
patches, I will not accept ANY PATCHES from you AT ALL for the next full
year at the least, maybe longer.

That is my decision, sorry, you will not change my mind, so please go
work on some other project if you really want to help contribute to the
Linux ecosystem.  There are loads of other projects out there that need
help.  Right now, the kernel community does not need your help at all.
In fact, it has explicitly banned you from it by preventing you from
posting to its mailing lists, an action so huge, I don't know of it ever
happening before.

You are not welcome here.

End of story.
