Why not put the documentation right into the kernel tree? That way it
is always up to date with the code (well, hopefully), it will get built
and hosted all over the internet at different sites (including
kernel.org) and is much easier to search and people can modify easier.
And again, you are sending html email which the mailing list rejects so
no one on it is seeing your messages :(
