I'm saying that if there are people who want something that their
not getting, then there are already mechanisms for setting up
whatever they want themselves.  The DRI and GATOS projects are two
prominent examples.

I have no mechanism for maintaining the linux fbdev driver I've
written within the context of the Linux kernel, so I provide it on
my home page.  If I wanted to create a mailing list for it, I'd go
to SourceForge.  Lots of Linux kernel sub-lists are hosted on
SourceForge.  Does that make the work they do any less a part of
the Linux kernel?
