For "kernel.org" you mean linux kernel?
In this case: no copyright assignment is required.
The changes should be compatible with GPL v2 (as you will find i.e. in http://lxr.linux.no/source/COPYING )
You should confirm the: "Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1". This is in Documentation/SubmittingPatches ( http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/SubmittingPatches )
Note: IANAL, and I don't speak for other contributors ;-)
