I reread the above doc in order not to miss anything obvious again:(

I suppose basic process requirements mean:
1. designate your patch to a tree - [PATCH net] or [PATCH net-next]
2. don't repost your patches within one 24h period

For 1, somehow I got the impression that changing to MAINTAINERS
can be targetted to net branch, so that the change can flow to other
main trees quickly, maybe I was wrong?

For 2, yes, maybe I should stick to the rule even if it is a simple
patch and obivous format error.

Please correct me if there is anything else I missed.
