Why didn't your patch get merged?

They wanted me to make some changes and with the normal workflow that's just git commit and git push. With git send-email I have no fucking idea and it got beyond the point where I had enough cared enough to fight the process.

I would have thought that you fix it locally, git commit, and regenerate the patch set again. Maybe with optional squashing of commits so each patch set doesn't keep growing.

Oh I see! Thanks. I thought that they deliberately rejected your patch. But it was more about the red tape getting in the way. Yeah, that sounds frustrating.
