I'd be happy to set up a mailing list for that purpose, however.
If I get at least 5 people in favor of such a list, I'll immediately create linux-wish@nl.linux.org (or kernel-devel or some other, better name).

One of the ways in which the 2.3 cycle can be shorter is by only integrating stuff that's already being worked on and is ready by the time 2.3.0 is forked off. Then we integrate all those things within 5 revisions and start debugging. Maybe we even want to distribute all of those things in one big patch _before_ 2.3.0 is forked off.
Anyway, the last thing we should do is keeping Linus from his far-more-important 2.2 work...
