I created two branches in git as Ingo suggested me.
1. for-linus -> this branch stores new features which comes to next
merge open window
2. fixes-for-linus -> this branch stores fixes which come to rc version

I asked Linus for pulling it to his tree. I think rc3 will be soon - the
changes which I sent for
reviewing to LKML are OK (except Kconfig patch 11/11 - which I removed
for now) - they are ready
in fixes-for-linus branch.
I'll write next pull request - some days after rc3.

I think that my maintaining will be good for you and all.

OK. I will contact him to sort this things.

Thanks but I don't need to add new feature now.
I am solving some problems with romfs which comes with David's romfs changes

And I am preparing MMU Microblaze patches which I want to send to review
to LKML soon. I have there only some things to solve (like add
__uClinux__ to headers). I tested it with LTP and the results are good.
I would like to have ACKs and add it in next merge open window.

Thanks,
Michal
