That's where the patch will be installed, if accepted.  It makes most sense
to me to make sure the patch works as intended against mainline.  The fact that
it applied cleanly doesn't mean that other changes elsewhere couldn't make
your patch behave differently from what you expected.

I can't speak for other people, I'm not a MIPS maintainer.  We just recently
switched to bugzilla from another tracker.  What I can say is, in the past, the old
tracker tended to be forgotten or ignored.  As a result, patches posted here tended to
go unnoticed.  People are slowly catching up, though, me included.

My only intention was to help you, in pointing you in the direction of how to
get the most attention to your patch.  In the end, you've gone through so much
trouble in getting this far, it would be a waste if nothing came out of it, right?
