it tries to execute patch-o-matic-ng, but doesn't find a linux kernel in
the default location (don't know where the default is, you'd have to
check the sources).

this is for auto-creating the xml/html pages from the patch-o-matic
tree.

well, basicaully it would mean that you'd be doing the 'make distrib',
uploading the files to the http/ftp server, updating the homepage xml,
rebuilding html from the xml, and (at least in the iptables case)
manually write the changelog based on the diff to the previous version
and the svn commit messages.

PGP/GPG signign is an issue, and currently we only have one key for the
coreteam.  Maybe we should create a separate 'release signing key' that
would be kept with the releasemaster (e.g. you).

An alternative was to wait for somebody in the netfilter project to send
you the signed released file, and you would just do the
copying/updating/rebuilding/checking/...
