No. You can add a feature and publish it on web, without sending it to linus.
If you dont distribute it to a third party, you can do private modifications and not even publish it.
What you cannot do is call your derivative/combined work Linux since the name linux is copyrighted to linus.
Correction: The name is trademarked (names cannot be copyrighted) and is broadly licensed by the Linux Mark Institute which does allow derived works to be called Linux (unlike other projects like Mozilla Firefox) subject to the terms of the agreement.
