In that case, maybe send the mail to stable@,
or even hackers@.  I'm under the impression
that the kernel is built from files under /usr/obj
(see /usr/src/Makfile.inc1, down around line 427)
but you're not likely to find a 'technical deep'
explanation unless one of the 'lords from above'
finds time to read questions@ soon.  (No offense
to any of said.  This is a great bunch of folk.)
My guess is that several of them do, but not too
frequently, or else they set a filter that sends
them only headers with certain subjects.
