Documentation/process: Add Linux Kernel Contribution Maturity Model
As a follow-up to a discussion at the 2021 Maintainer's Summit on the topic of maintainer recruitment and retention, the TAB took on the task of creating a document which to help companies and other organizations to grow in their ability to engage with the Linux Kernel development community, using the Maturity Model[2] framework.
The goal is to encourage, in a management-friendly way, companies to allow their engineers to contribute with the upstream Linux Kernel development community, so we can grow the "talent pipeline" for contributors to become respected leaders, and eventually kernel maintainers. -
