Seems like everybody and their brother is maintaining a kernel patch set these days .
Is there a page somewhere that explains the goals of each of the various versions?
and ended up with the following information:
mm - Andrew Morton - vm related testing ground for dev tree
ck - Con Kolivas - desktop/interactivity patches
kj - Kernel Janitors - testing ground for kernel cleanups on development trees
mjb - Martin J Bligh - scalability stuff
wli - William Lee Irwin - other vm related stuff for dev tree that Andrew
Morton may not have time for
ac - Alan Cox - lately it's been a testing ground for new ide, 2.4 stuff
lsm - Chris Wright - Linux Security Modules, provides a lightweight, general
purpose framework for access control
osdl - Stephen Hemminger, enterprise stuff - performance testing tools
laptop - Hanno Böck - unproven laptop type patches
aa - Andrea Arcangeli - stable series vm stuff
dj - Dave Jones - cleanups/AGP
rmap - Rik van Riel - reverse mapping vm for 2.4
pgcl - William Lee Irwin - Page clustering
dis - Laptop-related (ACPI, swsusp, cpufreq, etc) patches
jp - Security/performance?
as well as a pointer to http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/index.php3#trees. Perhaps you'd like to update it?
