yes, this is a good idea.
In MTD's patchwork the jffs2 queue is in bad shape. I tried to catch up
but failed to find enough time. So with more eyeballs I think we can bring it
in shape again.
Basically we need to classify which patches fix important stuff and which do not.

Some time ago I make xfstests work with jffs2, I can share (and upstream) these
patches too.
One of my goals is making sure that we don't break jffs2. xfstests can help.

Are you on the OFTC IRC network? On #mtd you can find us MTD guys.

Thanks,
