I think it's a very good idea, because it would make it easier to get more people work at the same moment, development would go faster. It would be possible to make groups for a certain part of the kernel (for example sound, or filesystems, or main) with own group pages with status info and todo's and own mailinglists (it would divide this enourmous flow of mail into smaller parts). It would decrease the download size. I believe it would make bug tracking easier as well. I'm sure I forgot to mention something..
