This raises the question who wants to take the maintainer's head (at least initially)...
I am not sure if I want to do it because I already spend too much voluntary time on Linux :) So if someone else would like to take this role, I'd step back.
Well maybe try a shared maintainership model with one or two other people who have already done some patches?
Yes would be good if it technically works. I have not found if and how access permission to the kernel.org repos is controlled so that multiple users have push access.
At least there must be a single owner named. Requirements for getting an account:
https://korg.wiki.kernel.org/userdoc/accounts
Since I am not registered as maintainer and have no good PGP network with kernel developers it is probably better if someone who already has a kernel.org account creates the repo.
It seems at Paweł and Philip are potential candidates to help and have their own repos already :)
I think the n900 folks have their own repo too but I don't know who is active with that. Merlijn?
So I suggest you discuss with people interested. Or discuss it on the mailing list and see who end up being active.
Yes, to bring this topic forward, I have mailed the postmaster@vger to get a mailing list first. Then someone should create the kernel.org repo. And finally we can start filling it with patches.
BR and thanks, Nikolaus
