No, we just manage dependencies, so either:
  1. Patch 2 cannot go in until patch 1 is upstream,
  2. One subsystem maintainer gives an Acked-by for one patch,so
    the other subsystem maintainer can apply both patches.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
