What does this mean?

Can you consume XDP-hints in cpumap and veth, and transfer that to the
SKB fields? (I'm very interested in this).

Everybody seems eager to hijack the thread subject :-P

When introducing/proposing kernel changes, the discussion belong on the
mailing-list bpf@vger.kernel.org.

Kernel changes are usually send as (RFC) patches in the mailing list.

If you want to share kernel changes via GitHub, please create a branch,
and please avoid rebasing once shared.  I usually version my branches
via a descriptive-name plus an increasing number, so reviewers know
which branch is the latest code iteration.

It is unusual, but we can collaborate on kernel changes via GitHub. I've
only done with changes that are not ready for upstream submission yet,
and as part of a (1-to-1) review over IRC (with co-workers).

I'm not sure how you expect people to help you review[0] this?
