This is actual question for me too. Now I track Chris Mason's git tree
for latest integrated changes but if any other active git repositories
exist, please say. We are like to use btrfs actively in future (and use
it now) in our customer's products, so I intend to be involved in
development.

And last question about development process: can I hope that btrfs
maintainers will use the patchwork.kernel.org for patches tracking?
It's sometimes very difficult to track status of patches sent to
mailing list. For instance, I am trying to get Anand's patches for
'global hot spare' functionality working, they depends from two
another patchsets which were re-sent few times with changes and
introduced new bugs etc...

Btw, Anand, if you have public git repo with 'global hotspare' patches,
could you please send it's location also?
