If I were Linus (and I am definitely not), I would assign an official
contact person for each subsystem (VFS, ext2, mm, sound, lp, etc. etc.
etc.). Everyone would send patches to the contact person (or subsystem
mailing list) and the contact person would do the patch selection,
combination, etc. and pass the results up to Linus for final
approval+inclusion. I think this would lessen his load, increase the
chances of good patches getting in, and avoid hassles. Just my $.02.
