Yes, stable@...nel.org has been "dead" since last October.

Sorry, but I don't accept pull requests.  I need patches in email form,
as described in the file, Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt.  Please
feel free to send them from your git tree that way.

3.1 is long dead, so I can't do anything with those patches, sorry.

That seems like a lot of backporting for a single fix, but I'll be glad
to review them when you send them.

Again, please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt, it explains
how this all works.
