I assume that if there is a maintainer who normally sends me stuff by
git, when I see patches in emails they are just informational
heads-ups about stuff that is being discussed or pending, and that
I'll see it later in a pull request. So I just ignore them unless I
have specific comments, since clearly the emailed patch is just
informational and/or for comments/acks from others.

The exception is unless it *VERY CLEARLY* says otherwise (as in
"Linus, can you please take this directly due to xyz").

Because why would somebody send me a patch series sometimes, and git
trees at other times? That would just be stupid.
