For new people in the Linux development I would recommend to use
wireless-testing and submit patches to the linux-wireless mailing, just
to keep things simple. Johannes when picks up the patch whenever he has
time.

In rare occasions your patch might conflict with something which is in
mac80211-next and Johannes might ask you to rebase your patch. But this
usually happens when making more extensive changes to mac80211, for
smaller patches this is really rare.
