Linux Libre is a de-blobbed fork. While a nice thing to have, it doesn't explicitly reject the CoC, afaik.
Also, Linux in the process of being de-blobbed gradually. Which would eventually render Linux-Libre pointless.

A few dozen talented full-time kernel developers or a few hundred talented voluntarian kernel developers. Note that talented kernel developers are six-figure expensive, not just in silicon valley but anywhere in the world.
Costs a lot of $$$

I don't think so. What makes you think that?
Skills:
- Excellent knowledge of C
- Good knowledge of driver development
- Ability to read and understand other peope's code
- Resistance to bullshittery
Roles:
- Driver development
- Non-driver kernel development
- Code review, QA, security checks
- Running development infrastructure (easiest and least important part)
- PR, advertising just kidding

Codes have to go through a peer reviewed process before they get approved anyways.
