Hi Guys, This is indeed a documentation bug and we will fix it. No Intel employees will bypass the process. All changes, including those from Intel employees, will be scrutinized by MeeGo kernel maintainer team which only consists of a few Intel employees at this moment for the obvious reasons I believe people all understand. We have no problems having people from Nokia and the community joining the team over time and that will certainly be determined based on one's contributions to MeeGo kernel. In addition, I cannot second more Arjan's suggestions on the best way of contributing to MeeGo kernel. People are highly encouraged to submit the patches you want to be part of MeeGo kernel upstream.
