So the question I have is: Can we do community sprints?  Let's get
together (on the lists, or irc, wherever) the week after -rc2 drops to
figure out who thinks they're close to submitting patchsets, decide
which one or two big patchsets we as a group want to try to land this
cycle, and then let's /all/ collaborate on making it happen.  If you
think a cleanup would be a big help for someone else's patchset, write
those changes and make that part happen.

There's never been a prohibition on us working like that, but I'd like
it if we were more intentional about working like a coordinated team to
get things done.  What do you all think?

(Small changes and bug fixes can be sent any time and I'll take a look
at them; I'm not proposing any changes to that part of the process.)

Apart from patchsets associated with implementing new features, small changes
and bug fixes for an upcoming kernel release, may be we should also allow
developers to post RFC patchsets to obtain an initial high-level feedback
for a design that implements a fairly complicated new feature?

Hmm, AFAIK, this has never been a problem, just check the list, there are
several [RFC PATCH] patches around. Not sure if maybe you're talking about
something more specific?
