Don’t need one. If you can read C/C++ you can read the kernel code. And in most cases, you won’t have to, as the problem is probably in a component in the distro. Those are written in python, ruby, or bash, which are all much more readable than C/C++.
You don’t have to be a kernel dev for that. Reading source code is much easier than writing it. I myself have even read the code that handles the battery management drivers, and it’s mostly self documenting, even though I’m bad at C and it’s pointers, and also have never yet written a kernel driver.
How many dev teams have a kernel dev on them?

No such luck on windows
