But for eudyptula, patches have to properly submitted to lkml and
maintainers. And today I am here just because of eudyptula. My patches
and contributions here, everything started with it. :)

As far as I understand, the Eudyptula Challenge list has
internal mechanisms to nominally review patches before some
patch is submitted to lkml.
well, yes, sort of. Submitting patch is task 10, and all the previous
tasks will train people on creating patch, sending etc.

The main point is that patches shouldn't be applied without
being submitted to a more widely read list.
yes, and Eudyptula requires the participant to send patch to maintainer,
lkml and relevant mailing list where outreachy specifies not to send to
lkml. Next outreachy will start from September.

At a minimum, outreachy needs to require that patches are sent to the maintainer(s). I can understand not wanting to burden LKML, but getting defective patches into the kernel must be avoided.
