Subject: rfc: trivial patches and slow deaths?

Patches submitted to the trivial address
trivial@...nel.org seem to go nowhere slowly.

Jiri, do you have any actual plans to try to
pick up these patches, notify the submitters
that the patches have been accepted or rejected,
and forward them on when appropriate?

Otherwise, the patches sit for _months_ without
any action.  That's simply too long.

Should another mechanism or pathway be created
instead?
