You're asking the kernel.org folks to do things that they just don't do.
They don't champion specific kernel patches (or "assign developers" to
anything), they don't maintain external wiki pages.  I doubt you'll find
much joy that way.

It seems to me that you need to have a discussion with David Miller about
being allowed back onto the mailing lists.  I do not speak for him in any
way, but he is not an unreasonable person.  It has been a while; you may
well be able to come to an understanding.  Somehow, though, I doubt you'll
get there with a public editorial.

Sure, send me the URL of your git tutorial, which must
use a different subset of the 143 git commands from
any other git tutorial, and you're in.  (I use git
and like it, but of course it gives you the ability
to build either sane workflows and crack-smoking
workflows, your choice.)

Just to let you know, your requests will be ignored, as Jon stated.

That is not how Linux kernel development works.  Our development process
is _very_ well documented.  If you don't follow it, don't expect to get
your patches accepted, it's that simple.  You aren't special here.

That has nothing to do with kernel.org.  Actually none of these do, but
this one really doesn't.
