Thanks, I'll add this to my (long) TODO list. You can take a look at
this if you have some free time, it'll be welcome.

I send my patches to the John and linux-wireless ML.
For the most of the time wireless-testing was the tree getting all the
recent patches. Since about a month it seems John started taking
patches into wireless-next (unless it's urgent fix for "just"
wireless). After some time it seems John is merging wireless-next into
wireless-testing.
We are considering creating git tree for b43 development.

I prefer to use both: b43-dev and linux-wireless. Using just LKML is
not enough, I think noone will take patches from that.

I don't have anything against sending patches also directly to John,
he always nicely gives ppl few days for reviewing (and NACKing ;) ).
But if you really prefer, you can just send patches to b43-dev and
wait until someone (me?) take them and repost to John.
