I'm not sure if you are implying that Linus "Lieutenants" push their work on kernel.org before sending him a pull request, but Linus pulls code from many different places, and each lieutenant decides which place is best for him. Some examples from a kernel clone I have around: Merge branch 'fixes' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input (the last one being hosted on kernel.org, but in a personal repo) Christophe
