Well, as this is quite a high-priority functional fix, I'd suggest using 
other channels that trivial tree, as this one is primarily intended for 
simple fixes that are not really urgent.

Still, for the fix mentioned on

	http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-mmc@vger.kernel.org/msg00539.html

the most appropriate contact would probably be Madhusudhan Chikkature. 
Adding him to CC of this thread.
