In this case, please feel free to submit individual patches (the more
granular the better) to this list[0], or attach them to Bugzilla.  I
can review them (not necessarily immediately, but I will feel very
bad about it until I do), and commit them for you.

[0]: The accepted form is something like this:
     git-format-patch -n -s origin # this generates a bunch of almost-mails
                                     for you, based on all the commits
                                     in your tree but not upstream yet

     Send a mail, '[PATCH 0/n] Lots of Aiptek fixes', where n is the
     number of patches in this series, to xorg@, and note its
     Message-Id.  Include a general summary of the patches, and also
     preferably the output of 'git log origin..master | git shortlog'.

     for i in 00*; do git-send-email --to xorg at lists.freedesktop.org
       --no-signed-off-by-cc --suppress-from $i
       --in-reply-to '<message.id at of.mail.you.sent>'; done

    Note that your GIT_{AUTHOR,COMMITTER}_{NAME,EMAIL} should be
    correct.

    This will generate n+1 mails to xorg@, one per patch, and an overall
    summary mail that you send first, and makes reviewing much easier.
