Yes it works in next-20161122. I'm in IST so I get next tree update the
next day. If I want to create a linux-next tree and publish it on github
publicly then what I need to do?

I think MAINTAINERS file may provide maintainers repos but there may be
certain tasks to be performed which I as a newbie don't know.

I also want to do this because as push, pulling don't require
authentication.

I'm obliged to mere guidance.

Currently I'm unable to discuss it in detail. As my knowledge of kernel
grows I will start discussing any issue in detail.
