Speaking of what to patch, I'm looking at making a big set of
kernel-docbook changes/fixes/additions to the mm/ subdir.
Should I make patches to mainline or -mm (or mmotm) or what?

mm/ seems to have a *lot* of patches. ;)

Thanks,

mmotm would be best please.

Actually the number of memory-management patches in -mm is much less this
time than it usually is.  Perhaps we finished it.
