Very simple -- conduct mac80211 development in public on a mailing
list appropriate to discussion of an in-kernel component rather than
hiding on a mailing list that is ostensibly for development of a
specific driver.  As the authors of the patches it is incumbent on
Intel to post them for inclusion upstream.  That is the price of good
citizenship in the Linux community.
