Patches are suppose to be sent to this list. If its a big change, you are
suppose to split it up into smaller patches and send those (so they can be
applied one by one).
Beyond that I don't know of any rules.
When patches are ignores, that usually means that it got lost in the mail.
Thats when you have to get a little bit pushy.

Agreed. Feedback about rejected patches is crucial.
BTW, You can always come into the IRC channel and ask about it there.
