  • sign up to github and fork the r-pi kernel from here https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux make your changes and push them back to your fork on github. Then from your fork on github, send a 'pull request' back to the parent of your fork.

     

    You'll then want to follow and respond to any comments to your pull request here https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pulls

     

    It may also help if your changes are discussed over on the raspberrypi.org forums and lots of other people see them as being useful, however as you'll see from the pulls page on github there are several that have been outstanding for many months, so you have no guarantee that your changes will ever be accepted.

    That said, you can always post some links to your github repo and let people know where to get your changes, but until they get accepted into the foundations kernel you're audience is probably limited to people who are capable of compiling their own kernels.
