	It's based on number of PR's I has opened/unanalyzed.
	My PR's are mostly focused on not so critical problem in ancients part 
of code.
	I know standard mantra, of course - no volunteer must analyze my (or 
anybody's) PRs, there is no doubt about it ...

	I'm already in ;-)
	I'm using 6-STABLE (and 5-STABLE previously) on some unimportant 
computers and I'm reposting observered problems (mostly with offer of 
patch). I'm hesitating to install 6.x tree releases on critical routers 
mainly as they are on the performance top already (with modern hardware, 
not an old crap) ...

	Well, nothing more to speak. Have a nice day.
