I think you should ask the people who normal work on Linux internals.
If nothing else, Alan Cox frequents server-linux; send
subscribe server-linux Tim Bass 
to listserv () netspace org (note the spelling netSPaCe)
But server-linux is mostly people who run large Linux servers or large
networks of Linux machines, so it's still not a great place to talk
about TCP/IP internals. I haven't looked into
comp.os.linux.development.system recently but similar things get discussed
there. And these days the Debian Linux distribution is the hot one to work
on so you may find useful contacts at the mailing lists hosted by
http://www.debian.org. In fact the Debian lists may be the reason
that linux-net has quieted down.
