Comment 41 for bug 538383

just for the record: the "correct" behavior (according to the stable maintainer http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/stable-status-01-2010.html) is: "If ... you have found a patch written by someone else that you wish to have applied to the stable trees, email the git commit id of the patch as it shows up in Linus's tree to the <email address hidden> email address."
