Yeah, this topic again. It'd be a sad year on ksummit-discuss@ without it, 
wouldn't it? :)

As a SUSE Enterprise Linux kernel maintainer, stable kernel is one of the 
crucial elements I rely on (and I also try to make sure that SUSE 
contributes back as much as possible).

Hence any planned changes in the workflow / releases are rather essential 
for me, and I'd like to participate, should any such discussion take 
place.

In addition to that, I'd again (like during the past 5+ years, but it 
never really happened) like to propose a stable tree discussion topic: I'd 
like to see an attempt to make the stable workflow more oriented towards 
"maintainers sending pull requests" rather than "random people pointing to 
patches that should go to stable". This has been much of an issue in the 
past, when we've been seeing many stable tree regressions; that's not the 
case any more, but still something where I sense a room for improvement.

Thanks,
