I don't really know.

Although, I wanted to make sure that the tool still was still being
maintained as otherwise people sooner or later will not care to send
patches.

I haven't bothered much at looking at mmc utils patches, although I
have noticed some being posted without any response or being picked
up.
I browsed the history of these patches and noticed that it's exactly
as you say. These haven't been sent directly you or they were sent to
an incorrect email address.

I apologize if I was giving the wrong impression that you didn't
maintain mmc utils very well, you certainly are!

Perhaps we should add some information about it in the mmc kernel doc,
to make it more visible.

Kind regards
