Yes, please; feel free to contact us.

Greg, we'll likely keep maintaining "stable 4.4.X" separately from
"stable + changes for cip hardware, aka 4.4.X-cipY". Would it be okay
if we simply kept tagging those kernels as 4.4.303 / 4.4.304 / ...?

CIP project is committed to maintain 4.4.x kernel till January of 2027
[1]. We are maintaining -cip branch [2], that is stable kernel with about
1000 of patches to support our reference hardware [3] and -cip-rt
branch, with is merge of -rt and -cip trees.

If you for some reason need 4.4.x with bug and security fixes, and are
running similar hardware to our reference hardware (x86-64 and armv7),
-cip tree may be good base for that work. Testing of the -cip tree is
welcome, as is joining the CIP project.
