# Why submit your fix?

Andrew Morton:

- “One hot tip: if you spot a bug which is being ignored, send a completely botched fix to the mailing list.
- This causes thousands of kernel developers to rally to the cause. Nobody knows why this happens.
- (I really have deliberately done this several times. It works).”

So even if your fix doesn't get in, it might inspire someone else to take it and clean it up and put it in the next release!
