Andrew,
Thanks. I had wanted to convey the gist of what you say to someone earlier this week. It would have been nice to point to some document that captures this, and though I looked around, I haven't found anything in one place, surprisingly. It's a plea kernel maintainers frequently make to Linux contributors, but new projects seem to run into the same problems repeatedly. I figured it would be worth putting together your comments and some basic related advice given to those wishing to get their code into the kernel in a document. Hope that's ok.
File follows in a separate mail.
thanks, Nivedita
