We can follow the same process we planned other repos/products. The fixes
can be send as pull requests to the kernel dev repo (not to the main repo).
So if some wants to patch kernel, they can do so via this process. Kernel
team will check this pull request and merge it with the dev repo.

Once we plan on releasing a kernel patch, then we can send these fixes as
pull requests to main repo [1]. When it is successfully merged, we can
create a branch for that patch and do the release.
