I don't know of a website that tracks that stuff, but here goes my knowledge of the different patchsets:
for the most part all of them are testing grounds for patches that someday hope to be in the vanilla kernel
mm - Andrew Morton - vm related testing ground for dev tree ck - Con Kolivas - desktop/interactivity patches kj - Kernel Janitors - testing ground for kernel cleanups on development trees mjb - Martin J Bligh - scalability stuff wli - William Lee Irwin - other vm related stuff for dev tree that Andrew Morton may not have time for ac - Alan Cox - lately it's been a testing ground for new ide lsm - Chris Wright - Linux Security Modules, provides a lightweight, general purpose framework for access control osdl - Stephen Hemminger, ? maybe enterprise stuff laptop - Hanno Böck - unproven laptop type patches aa - Andrea Arcangeli - stable series vm stuff dj - Dave Jones - cleanups/AGP rmap - Rik van Riel - reverse mapping vm for 2.4 pgcl - William Lee Irwin - ?
Others? Oh yes. Maybe this is something that should be tracked on a webpage somewhere.
