Yes, Stephen Rothwell will manage linux-next and when Stephen is not
available then someone might volunteer to take that responsibility. Like
Mark Brown created linux-next for few days in last week.
linux-next is usually used as the testing ground of almost all patches
which will be sent to Linus. Almost all the merge conflicts, build failures are
solved in linux-next before the patches are sent.
