I have sent an email to the linux kernel mailing list about this. It
can be found here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=173865483207487&w=2

Let's see what they say.

I give free unsolicited ideas to companies/governments/communities,
etc. around the world (although not from the same email id). Some of
my ideas get implemented and some don't.

I had written to the President(s) of USA 4 -5 times in the past (there
was a contact form available) and they implemented 2 of my ideas.

I had given many ideas to the Indian Central Government and they
implemented around 40% of my ideas.
