It'd be better if the approved patches from the intern list
(no idea what that is) were sent to lkml/devel@driverdev lists
for review before actually being applied.

Its the outreachy program. And http://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyApply
mentions specifically: "email your first patch to the outreachy-kernel
mailing list. Do not send patches to the tmain Linux mailing lists"

The same thing happens with the eudyptula patches.

But for eudyptula, patches have to properly submitted to lkml and
maintainers. And today I am here just because of eudyptula. My patches
and contributions here, everything started with it. :)

As far as I understand, the Eudyptula Challenge list has
internal mechanisms to nominally review patches before some
patch is submitted to lkml.

No it does not.

The main point is that patches shouldn't be applied without
being submitted to a more widely read list.

I take the blame for any problems with Outreachy patches.  Given the
huge volume of them, one bug out of 900 isn't that bad of a percentage.
