As far as I can tell, reaction to LSM in the kernel community is mixed.
Some are in favor of it. Others are opposed to it. As usual, there are a
variety of reasons for both viewpoints.

As for decision-making meetings, the closest thing I can think of might
be at OLS[1] -- but, as usual in the Linux community, I'd be surprised
if it were terribly formal, or even carry significant weight.

At some point, the LSM community will think our stuff is about ready for
submission. Then, the one huge omnibus patch will be broken up into
several smaller patches for easier digesting, and posted to LKML for
comments. I expect it will be soundly ripped apart, and I expect it will
be improved for the additional exposure, no matter how frustrating it
might be at the time. :)

My own personal guess on this timeline is one to two months.

As for myself, I might be interested in being a spectator, but probably
not a participant. Scarcity of time in the day and all that. :(
