if I get the status right for this one, we have from Klaus a fully
qualified patch according to README.patches.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-dvb/msg30371.html

Further we have at least an ACK from Steven and no NACK so far.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-dvb/msg30817.html

But that ACK also means that he will not forward it himself to Mauro
through one of his development repositories by a pull request.

This would cause a signed-off-by from him being in the commit chain.

In this case direct mail to Mauro is requested to let him know a patch
on the list is considered to be ready, or wait until he gets aware of
it.

Igor has added some more S2 capable devices, IIRC.

Cheers,
Hermann
