It might actually be enough to have a patches 'portal
site', where there are:
- links to the developers' sites
- web forms so the developers can update the description next
to their name -- this in order to inform users of what is on
their page
- a simple search engine that can be used to search the
developers' pages for a certain keyword
- a page with the latest news about the kernel, the patches
and what's happening with Linux development.
Considering the amount of traffic such a site might
generate, it could actually be worth it to update
and keep such a site for-profit (or at least to get
a bit extra pocket money :)
