It is certainly not your _responsibility_ to review additional patches
to get your accepted; without doing so, it likely will be accepted,
eventually (assuming it is correct).

As far as I understand, Martin's offer is purely a personal one:
there is a patch backlog, and if you help clear it out, he will help
your patch get processed faster.
