Sending off kernel patches

Hi all!

I'm new to kernel development and I have just started learning how to create linux kernel patches.

I would like to know how the 'signing off' and 'acknowledgment' processes work?

I'm assuming that I as the patch author I need to sign off, but who do I send the file to so that it can be acknowledged? Do I need to find an individual who's actively involved in kernel development?

Thanks in advance!
