You just go and do it - it's just sending out an email. You don't need to introduce yourself, sign up anywhere, or do anything particularly fancy. You do need to write code that works and will be accepted, and follow the expected protocol when submitting it. There's a lot of information on the process out there (some of it obsolete), but really it boils down to: - git clone the kernel (latest release or latest RC usually works for this) - Write and test the patch - Make sure Git authorship info is correct and the commit is signed off (`git commit -s`) - git format-patch to make the patch - checkpatch.pl to check for style issues - get_maintainer.pl to figure out who to send it to - git send-email to send it properly |
