However, as a consequence of this decentralized development model, these emails are spread across hundreds of mailing lists, each with its own community and code-maintenance model. This talk presents the LKML5Ws dataset ("the What, When, Who, Where, and Why in the Linux Kernel Mailing Lists"). With over 20 million emails from 345 different mailing lists, our massive relational dataset provides a comprehensive overview of the last 20 years of Linux kernel development. Beyond shedding light on the awe-inspiring number of patches, discussions, and contributors, our dataset serves as a basis for studying the intricate, knowledge-rich nature of free software development. We want to share and discuss this data, along with some visualizations, with the Debian community.
