We've discussed a bit how to get the gem/gt team better integrated and collaborate more with the wider community and agreed to the following:
all gem/gt patches are reviewed on dri-devel for now. That's overkill, but in the past there was definitely too little of that.
i915-gem folks are encouraged to cross review core patches from other teams
big features (especially uapi changes) need to be discussed in an rfc patch that documents the interface and big picture design, before we get lost in the details of the code
Also a rough TODO (can be refined as we go ofc) to get gem/gt back on track, like we've e.g. done with DAL/DC to get that in shape.
I think we mentioned in the past about having better annotations for dma_fence critical sections,
Otherwise I think this is a great list to get us out of the woods and seeing how to move forward again.
