Kernel Janitor resources/organisation

Hello

With the introduction of Robert P.J. Day's janitor scripts, the kernel
janitor mailing list seems to be receiving more activity now.

I wanted to ask about resources. I know there is a page for kernel
janitors on the kernel newbies project page located here:
https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelJanitors
However, the above page appears to be quite out of date, and I'm unsure
how relevant the listed todo items still are.

There also seems to be a google code page? Google code of course no
longer exists, so I am unsure what the relevance of it is.

Overall based on activity of the mailing list it doesn't seem like the
kernel janitor project is pretty active. I personally think it is
important however to keep the codebase maintainable, and I do also
think that common resources, techniques etc should be documented
*somewhere*.

As such, I wanted to ask if there is a common point of documentation
that I do not know of, or whether the newbies page is still the best
resource for it.

I do think the recent scripts (as well as any other relevant scripts)
should be linked somewhere "official", as they seem incredibly useful
(I've already sent a patch replacing a removed Kconfig option with the
proper one that was missed when the original one was removed).

I guess in a way I'm wondering as well on the organisation of the
janitor's project. Is there a leader of the project? maintainers? It's
not exactly a subsystem so it may not make sense, but it does also seem
like it'd be good for newbies if there were people to flag what should
be done or what might be worth investing time into.

Sorry if this is a bit incoherent, it's a bunch of thoughts I had, I
think for me the janitor project is probably worth a lot of my time so
I wish to get involved a lot more.
