We are using the "kernel.org account" as a way to verify that you really are part of our developer/maintainer community and that you are part of the "web of trust" and an actual person. That is the goal here, if you know of some other way to determine this, please let us know. We went through many iterations of this and at the moment, it is the best we can come up with. Also, note that the "kernel.org admin" is really a team of people who have been doing this for 9 years, it's not a single person responsible for giving out new accounts to people that do not meet the obvious requirement levels as published on kernel.org > Furthermore, having a kernel.org account imposes the additional > requirement that you're part of the kernel developers web of trust, That is exactly what we want. > i.e. that you've met other kernel developers in person.

Yes, we know that, but it does mean that you are "known" to someone else, which is the key here. > Seems like having a kernel.org account is just a proxy for the criteria, > and one that also lacks transparency, and has problems of its own. What is not transparent about how to get a kernel.org account? > Not that I'm saying there's an easy solution, but obviously kernel.org > account is not as problem free as you might think. We are not saying it is "problem free", but what really is the problem with it? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Ksummit-discuss mailing list Ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ksummit-discuss
