Or does the section maintainerOh, I see. I forgot about the changelogs. I'd send out version 5I suspect you wait for 2.5.23 release, or send it to AKPM for inclusion
now, but I'm not sure what kernel version to make the patch against.
2.6.23-rc4 is on kernel.org and I don't see any git snapshots.
Additionally I never could tell what git tree was the 'mainline' as it
isn't labeled with such a keyword (at least in the list of git trees I
saw).
in an "-mm" kernel. That's probably desirable, anyway.

it into the -mm kernel patches for testing. Most patches cook in the -mm
kernel(s) before they are merged into mainline.
Then generally the subsystem maintainer(s) are responsible for sending
patches on to Linus for merging into mainline, if/when they are happy
with the patch and they think that it has been tested enough.
So I should look at the git documentation again, try to pull down
Andrew's latest -mm, and see what I need to change (if anything) to
patch against it? (I would probably only verify that boots once my
self given the other testing this has already seen and how often mm
breaks things my mythtv box likes, such as nvidia-drivers, etc,)
