David, The compat [0] / compat-wireless [1] [2] projects have received quite a bit of love of the years to the point we now have 3 subsystems backported: Ethernet, Bluetooth and 802.11. Ozan Çağlayan, a Linux Foundation Google Summer of Code student is folding in right now drm driver support. At the request of the community, specifically those part of the Linux Foundation driver working group [3], we are going to be renaming the project to compat-drivers soon after drm is integrated and will be housing documentation under the kernel.org infrastructure [4] under this new name. It'll take some time for us to migrate the documentation / releases but do not see major issues with that, it will just take a bit of time but hope to have it done for the next stable release based on the next kernel stable release. At this time for patches we do have a Linux Foundation mailing list but have had issues with it for a while now so we keep using linux-wireless for patches. Given that our focus is to always prioritize upstream and always try to work with solutions that ensure vendors are focusing on upstream solutions and prioritizing upstream [5] I was hoping we can get a mailing list set up on vger for the project, perhaps backports@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, so we don't flood the other mailing lists with random kernel backport junk. Please let me know if this is reasonable.
