What kernel tree should I use to develop NFS & RPC patches
for possible upstream acceptance?

I've actually signed up to revamp linux-nfs.org. I'll begin work on that very soon (after bakeathon and my vacation).

It would be nice to reorganize the wiki, especially that top page.

I'd kind of like linux-nfs.org to just point to some page on the wiki

I think for the stuff you're doing it would just be the upstream git tree at
kernel.org. Note that nfs-utils is separate.

Has anyone pointed you to the wiki? I think it answers many of these
questions, although it seems heavily slanted towards pnfs.
