Yes, there are almost always multiple people adding new
features simultaneously.

We should probably split things up in categories. Then the
people inside a category (linux-mm, linux-scsi) can assign
numbers without bothering linux-kernel...

Ok. I'm not familiar with how major and minor numbers are
assigned. Splitting things up by catagory is probably the right thing
to do. Maybe a multi-level heirarchy, ie: disk, memory, networking;
then split ie disk into scsi, ide, etc.

I'm sure I missed many toplevel catagories. I'm currently fighting a
nasty sore throat caused by all the smoke we're getting here in
Texas. :(
