Quite descriptive and useful, thanks.
Let me raise a point. And extend your graph:
random hackers | | | | | | | | maintainers -< subsys testers | | | | combiners -< tree testers | | Linus
Who you call combiners... How many of them should release independent trees to be thrown at us test-dogs? My point of view is neither the hacker, nor the maintainer nor the combiner one. Nor Linus, thank god! :) It's the guy who risks his filesystem integrity with some 2.X.Y-preZ-testW-QQ-KK kernel.
How many crosspatched sources I should look at, to try my luck with?
Have fun,
