After being burnt a few times in forgetting something that I should
have done when releasing a patch against the kernel, I've created a
Kernel Patch Release Checklist at
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/PatchReleaseChecklist
If you want to you can add new stuff I haven't thought of to this
list: but you need to register on the Wiki to do so.

You are lost in a maze of BitKeeper repositories, all slightly different.

Good idea. I think this should go into the Documentation directory.
I would personnaly add :
- "1.4.3 have you described side-effects you're aware of, or incompatibilities
or breakage of other patches ?"
- "1.5.2. Have you checked that your patch still applies without fuzz on latest
dev kernel ?" (which is not implied nor excused by 1.4.2).
Cheers,
Willy

Good stuff!
You might also want to mention that the patch should apply with "patch
-p1".
