While it's useful to broadcast your work, please have some consideration
for the forum(s) you're doing that to.

The way kernel development works is that patches are sent to mailing
lists for review.  Kernel developers review the patches and provide
comments back.  The comments are discussed and actioned, and a new
set of patches posted for further review.  This cycle repeats.

When everyone is happy, the patches can be applied, or pulled from
a non-github git tree.  (Kernel people generally don't like github.)

This is so that upstream kernel developers don't get too overloaded
with work that really should be done by downstream folk (imagine if
they had to rewrite every patch that came their way...)

Thanks.
