You're probably right.

I'm willing to undertake the project of bringing the code up to kernel 
coding standards so that it can eventually be considered for mainline. 
I'll plan on undertaking this project if I don't receive feedback that I 
shouldn't do so.

If people have concerns about the high-level design of the system, it 
would be useful for me to know that information sooner rather than later.

If there's anything that I can do to facilitate feedback at this stage, 
please let me know.

Thanks for the advice.
