Probably, you should be on lkml - the Linux kernel mailing list.

There is no need, or even point, to create rpms for each dumb mistake.
Oh, I don't know - I could screw up more people who were dumb enough to

If at all possible, you should be testing first in uml, xen or other
virtual environment.
I have a dedicated test machine here at work. It builds nicely and so far
I haven't built a kernel that won't boot, AND I have fallbacks for if I
do....
Seems to me that typing
linux ...
or
xm create testbox
is much easier than moving to another computer, pressing reset (if it's
got one!) or cycling power, or even 'reboot -f -n'
Okay, so you don't move to another computer. Still, I've heard UML
became pretty popular pretty quickly with kernel hackers.
