Hello,

That would be the kernel [1] Fetch 2.6.25 (or the topmost entry) (press 
the 'F' to download the whole source, and not the patch).

You have some documentation in 'Documentation' and the actual drivers should 
be available in 'drivers'. Search for 'hid' therein and you'll probably end 
up with some files worth looking on.

For more detailed question regarding certain aspects I'd recommend the 
linux-kernel mailing-list (lkml) and possibly one of the lists that deals 
with specific sub-systems in the kernel, see the maintainers file.

Cheers
  Magnus
