Hi Greg,

I don't know who the usb-storage maintainer is, as I've mostly contributed to linux-scsi. Do you? I know Alan acked this patch. Is it him? Any reason you didn't CC the usb-storage maintainer in this email?  Can you reply back to this thread CC-ing him? The only email I have in my address book is yours.

Thank you for being so nice and patient in this long, difficult, arduous and intimidating[1] process.
