Kristleifur already > proposed what might be optimal, that is, GitHub Anyone who wants to is welcome to create a kernel tree on github, apply patches, and send me pull requests. To just email me patches. However the patches arrive I will need to review them at least until I have enough experience with the person to have good reason to trust their patches. Typically the extent of review will drop as a history of good patches grows until I just pull any that looks vaguely credible. I don't think we need any new infrastructure to allow this. We just need people with an interest to create and submit patches. If someone says "I've created some patches but they aren't getting into mainline because ...." of some reason, maybe because I keep ignoring them or losing them in mail inbox or something, then it might be time to look at technology solutions to make it easier for new contributors to get patches in. But until those new contributors are trying there isn't much point making it easier for them.
