Please learn how the community works, and how to interact with
developers and maintainers in that community appropriately.

I already tried that.

If you're unwilling to be an effective maintainer, then please hand
off the responsibiilty to someone else.

Could i suggest you read:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt

And in particular, the bit about netdev being closed.

I suggest you wait a week for netdev to open, and then submit the
patches again. Actual patches, which cleanly apply to net-next.
