I received some responses. But as the questions were not properly stated, the responses were not very useful. so, I am restating the questions once again hoping to clear them up. By the way, I am working on a research project that is studying the kernel patches of all kind. Q1. I want to find out what the steps are for submitting and approving a patch in the Linux kernel? I know that Linus has sent out an email regarding the patch approval process and I have read it. Q2. I have looked into a mirror site for the kernel (in the university of Wisconsin web site) for all kinds of patches for the kernel. I am looking at all patches for all versions of the kernel. I would like to find out who the authors are of these patches. Can you help me find this info? Thanks - Arun
