I'd recommend Ben Hutchings for the help and work he does with stable
kernel releases as well.  Those numbers don't show up in your tree, but
in the stable releases, he is up there at with the amount of effort and
help he provides me, and the users of the trees he maintains (3.2 and
3.16 for Debian).  I figure the stable trees do tie into "process
improvements" for some discussions.

I'd like to see this happen as well, no technical issues can really be
discussed at the kernel summit anymore, we've gotten too big :(
