As advertised earlier. I invite interested parties to take over and
add their own entries as they see fit.

I don't know the formal process, but I am willing to take over the
maintainership of MMC. This has been discussed, somewhat casually, in
the last couple of weeks and I haven't seen any objections so far. :)

Some practical questions for my new role. I intend to set up a public
git repository (preferably on kernel.org, but I don't currently know the
criteria there) as a means to expose my patches.

>From what I've observed, the work flow is something like this:

Have a "for-andrew" and a "for-linus" branch, depending on stuff for -mm
or the main tree. Moving stuff between the two will be done in my rep
and after which I send pull requests to LKML.

This might be a misunderstanding on my part, or for other reasons, not a
way you wish to work. So I'm open to input on how I should structure things.

Send request to the nice people at [email protected]. gpg keys will be
needed. See http://www.kernel.org/faq/#account

That's all ideal - go for it.
