Ok, I mailed Rob privately in support of this; now I'm saying it publicly: I support this. (And I thought it well written.)
I've submitted small patches for things as I have gotten the chance. I submitted those to Alan because they were small fixes. He gave feedback (Thanks Alan!) and I tried to fix things better. He took care of feeding Linus--something I'm not in a possition to do. I believe we need a patch-penguin or something similar. Linus wants subsystem maintainers... maybe make an official bugfix-maintainer? Whoever it is needs to be officially recognized by Linus and probably featured on /. or something so people who create those 3-4 line patches that fix a bug that bit them will know not to mail Linus.
(Returning to the shadows where I belong... ;) )
