2.6.15? That sounds very optimistic. In theory the merge window
is supposed to be two weeks after release. And I somehow doubt
all the generic reviewing can be done in that time. Later is probably
more realistic.

Since reviewing is probably the big bottleneck anyways I would suggest
to submit what you already have for review ASAP.

At the moment, I have spare cycles I can use to help; however, I am not
a part of the everybody that knows what to do as was mentioned on the
virtualization list a couple of weeks ago. I could definitely use some
guidance on what I can do to help.

This is great news :) Even better it seems that you have caught up
with 2.6.14 recently.

There seems to be some inconsistency with the HG tree (I am no expert
here):
$ hg heads | grep changeset | wc -l
13
That seems a little big to me.

Anyway, what started this is that there is at least a few important
changesets in the repo that are not in the tip, I suppose all the
heads that still need merging?

Are you pulling from http://www.kernel.org/hg/linux-2.6/ or from git?
