Yes, submit it over and over until there is some feedback. argue
or follow the feedback...eventually it will go in unless it's not
a desirable change. If no feedback, keep submitting until the
maintainer has time to look at it.

Well, how about asking Russel to hand out the scripts for

   http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/

Would this help?

No, it just provides a web-based interface to what is handled
via mailing lists. It's just as easy for a maintainer to get
busy and not ack a patch submission on a web-based system as well.

I suspect that this is an 8xx-specific problem. The source of
the problem is that 8xx has been undermaintained for some time
and it only recently has gained a new maintainer.
