I would think that any such maintainer would also have to deal with kernel-doc, and making sure all of those scripts work / don't produce errors. I got a bunch of patches into the late 2.5 cycle to deal with that, but someone needs to keep that stuff working.
I'm happy to keep playing with those scripts, if other people are happy with that.
My point is that documentation is more complex than just keeping the comments in the source pointing at the right places -- there is a bunch of infrastructure there as well.
On the dropped patch front, I had a lot of success getting patches into the kernel via the Trivial Patch Monkey. Given the menial nature of this sort of work, wouldn't this best be done by the janitors and sending patches to trivial?
Cheers, Mikal
