Seriously? Because it doesn't seem to have had enough peer review,
it hasn't had widespread testing in somewhere like linux-next or
-mm, and we already have kgdb so you have to also explain why you
can't improve kgdb in the areas it trails mdb.

But the ideal outcome would be if you could contribute patches to
kgdb to the point where it is as good as mdb. It is already in the
tree and supported by a handful of architectures... any chance of
that? (I don't know kernel debugger code, so I ask as an interested
user)
