Hi Ben - that email thread never really bottomed out on _who_ would be
the 3.2 stable maintainer, though I expect it will be someone on my
team. Here is the thread:

I will not be handing any stable/longterm maintance over to anyone who
does not have a _lot_ of kernel community experience, so that seems to
rule out just about all Ubuntu developers at this point in time from
what I can tell.
As I think this will be a Debian/Ubuntu thing only, I don't know if
keeping the kernel.org version around for any length of time is really
going to help much out here, do you?
thanks,
greg k-h

Greg, I'd be interested to know what the criteria is for "a _lot_ of
kernel community experience". We are will to put in the time and effort,
and if there are things we need to do I'd like to know what they are.
Thanks

I could spell it out, (maintainer of a subsystem, known member of the
community, lots and lots of kernel commits, invited to kernel summit
and/or subsystem summit meetings, etc.), but that kind of implies that
this is something that you are looking to achieve for the sake of
achieving it, rather than it happening because this is something you
want to do, which is the most important thing.
Yes, it's an imperfect judgement call, but if you were in my situation,
what would you do and trust?

There is no connection between Debian and Ubuntu kernel packages,
unlike many other packages that are co-maintained or copied between
the distributions. So it is valuable to have a distinct upstream
branch as the basis for our respective Linux kernel packages.
A longterm 3.2.y branch might also be useful for Fedora 16, though
the Fedora maintainers may prefer to carry on updating to newer
mainline releases.
Ben.

Iffy on whether Fedora would use it. If anything, it would be more useful for
Fedora 15 than Fedora 16. We'll likely rebase F16 to 3.3 as soon as 3.3.1 is
released.
I do appreciate the thoughts though. Once we get closer to a 3.3 rebase, we
might revisit.
