Hi!

It seems there is quite a lot of efforts porting kernel to various
cellphones.

Yes, and it is sisyphos work to get it 100% into mainline... Most
projects I know about are at 99,5%.

Librem 5 and PinePhone have their own hardware, people around Maemo
Leste work with Nokia N900 and Droid 4, there's group working with
Sony cellphones, there are postmarketOS people and there are probably
groups I don't know about.

And there is Openmoko and successors (GTA04, Pyra, GTA15).

I believe some coordination would be useful, so we end up with
compatible solutions for various problems.

IMHO the main problem we all share is power management.

It would be also good to know how ther hardware is progressing. I'd
really like to have phone I could use as a _phone_, running mainline
kernel. So far N900 with original Maemo is closest I could get. 

Would it be possible to create a mailing list on vger.kernel.org?

Hm. My experience with asking for creating an openpvrsgx mailing list
at vger.kernel.org was like asking the sun to shine during night.

In the end we did set up our own mailing list and github project:

https://lists.openphoenux.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/openpvrsgx-devgroup
https://github.com/openpvrsgx-devgroup/linux_openpvrsgx

What I can offer is to run a similar list. You may remember that
OpenPhoenux was the continuation of the OpenMoko community mailing lists
having the same focus as you describe above.

Probably phones@ or phone-devel@? I believe it would be useful to
cover hardware-dependend pieces of the phone stack (ofono,
modemmanager) as well as kernel.

I am fine with either.

BR,
Nikolaus
