I second this. _Any_ kernel development that is new must be discussed on LKML. Sure, you can do the initial prototypes on a smaller mailing list, but once you have that prototype ready, it should go to LKML. This was the problem with Xen. The -rt patch was developed on LKML and even though there's a lot more to get in, a lot already has. The reason is that all development was done on the kernel mailing list.
