[dgplug-users] Kernel Mail-list and Patching

[arprez]

Hi all,
	I am subscribed to Linux-kernel mail-list and Linux-usb mail-list. it 
was ok initially but the number of emails per hour is growing and now i 
can't really follow up with the amount of information.
	I have queries regarding the patching system followed in linux 
development. How are a sequence of patches checked and applied finally?
for example;

Developer-1 submits patches {patch-1, patch-2, patch3}
Developer-2 submits patches {patch-4, patch-5(which is another patching 
done in patch-3 of dev-1)}
Maintainer- accepts patches 1,2,4 and rejects 3,5.

what does he do then, and how dos he apply them?

Also what tools or methods one uses to check patches and their aptness?

Thanks.
