Yeah... if you already have a kernel.org account, then you can ignore the rest of this email. :P First you'll need a *stable* email service of some kind -- this MicXXXXXX crap that increasing numbers of us are being forced to use by corporate IT is not going to cut it. Contributing to the gmXXX-vger mail delay swamp isn't great either. :/ Then you'll need to create a PGP key and get enough of us who already have kernel.org accounts (Eryu, dchinner, me, sandeen, hch, etc.) to sign it to convince the kernel.org admins that you're legit; and so that you can push signed tags to the git tree. I didn't get any hits in pgp.mit.edu or the kernel keysigning map, so I'm presuming you don't already have one... In the old days a signing party was easy enough when we could do that in person at LSFMM/LinuxCon/etc, but now ... I don't know what the verification process is. Next you'll want a kernel.org account so that you can push branches to git.kernel.org. You'll also have to ask them to add you to the group that has write access to the fstests repo: https://korg.docs.kernel.org/accounts.html In the meantime, if you need help pushing branches, I think at least Eric, Dave, and I all should still have write access.
