BPF := Banter Prudently, Fellow :-) Glancing at the git log:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/...

I noticed a recent merge from an LWN repo:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/...

Including "A new document on how to help with documentation" which I assume is Documentation/doc-guide/contributing.rst

I had no idea you are the Documentation maintainer. Which subsystems do you think are improving the most in regards to their documentation? Other than:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer...

Hunting around for descriptions of the "merge window" process itself, as a kernel noob, I found this section of "A guide to the Kernel Development Process" comprehensive:

Can we stop this?
