Those patches that are sent can often rot on the mailing lists for months as there is no clear maintainer tasked with reviewing and merging patches. I'm volunteering for the cred maintainer role to try and reduce the confusion and help cred patches find their way up to Linus' tree. As there generally aren't a lot of cred patches I'll start with simply folding them into the LSM tree, but if this changes I'll setup a dedicated cred tree.
