This is my correspondence with David, aka postmaster@vger. At this
point, I need someone else (Marek, etc.) to contact David if we are to
move forward with VGER.

I'm sure your project is very interesting, but it falls short of the
scope for having the list crated on vger.

Generally, we host lists for kernel projects and their tools for which
they are already upstream or for which their upstream acceptance is
imminent.

I've never seen the BATMAN kernel bits even submitted for review on
netdev@vger.kernel.org and getting your code upstream via submission
there would be a prerequesite before we could be discussing a mailing
list on vger.

I'm not even sure the getting your kernel bits upstream is even
something you want, or whether the networking maintainer (that's
me :-) would consider your code and approach acceptable.

Sorry.
