That is roughly right; more details are here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/2.Process.html#next-trees Most of it is still correct; some of it might be outdated. E.g., I am not completely sure if Andrew Morton still does this mentioned in the documentation: "The -mm tree integrates patches from a long list of subsystem trees", or if most integration from a long list of subsystem trees is nowadays completely done by Stephen Rothwell in linux-next. Also, possibly the statistics is outdated here in this statement: "In a typical development cycle, approximately 5-10% of the patches going into the mainline get there via -mm." One might need to check the current numbers and update the percentage here. Feel free to do a bit more research if you are interested and send a patch to update the Documentation on what you learned.
