This is very vague...
What are "various compliance requirements"?
What does "sufficient documentation" mean?

I can guess, but I think it's better to spell out the rules, as Linux
kernel development is done "in the open".  I am also afraid this is
opening the door for further (ab)use...

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
