I'm still confused about what this branch would contain; bug fixes to
4.4REL? Isn't that what -STABLE is all about?

Consider yourself "enlisted". :-)
What sorts of skills/interests have you to offer? I'm a pretty fair C
coder, and can comfortably play with shell, awk, and sed scripts, too.
I'm already involved in a few "global" projects, so I'm not too bad at
managing/applying/supplying submissions. And guess what? I can write
man pages and other documentation, too!
I have web/ftp space available at my ISP (midwest USA), and it has some
pretty fat pipes. Some logistics and details still need to be worked out
before I/we really start anything (I hope to work them out in this thread,
if I'm not kicked out for being off-topic).

Is that pronounced with a long or short 'i'?
