Neil Brown recently described kernel maintainers as developers who weren't sufficiently agile to avoid getting pulled into the maintainer role. I failed on this score just over a year ago. This talk will get into the details of what it is like to be a kernel subsystem maintainer, the ups and downs of maintaining a documentation tree in particular, and why one may or may not want to avoid getting pulled into this important role.
