From what I can tell, we search through the kernel-next git repo, then either by grep, ctags, or some other method? We are looking for things in the KernelJanitors/Todo, possibly stuff turned up by sparse? Maybe a different static analyser like from clang? From there we make sure the patch applys cleanly and mail the maintainer, copying the LKML and Kernel-Janitors? Are there any recommended tutorials / Articles that google doesn't turn up?
