yep, please do that, it will help, so I'll subscribe to that list

The drbd version in 2.6.37 is 8.3.9, looking on the git shortlog in the drbd-8.3 tree
between 8.3.9 to 8.3.10rc2 I see many many changes with most of them being kernel ones.

Does this means that currently you push upstream only whole drbd releases, and such 
a push can contain tens or even hundred patches?

Or.
