I fully expect akpm to be the 2.6 maintainer. He's been assuming some of the responsibilities of the part way before now.

Tail lkml for a while,.. he has one of the more solid understandings of how everything works now, he actively keeps up with change and a lot of new developments come through his mm tree, such as objrmap and other mm fixes, cfq and as IO schedulers, interactivity scheduler adjustments, ext3 developments like htree, the shared pagetables patch that probably won't make it in 2.6.0 was tried out in -mm, and a lot of ppc64, irq, and other bugfixes and errata come through the -mm tree. The -ac branch is mostly bugfixes and ports of old drivers to take advantage of the services in the new kernel.

If this were FreeBSD, akpm would have my vote for core.
