Hi,
I guess I could ask Gerd whether we wants to be part of the experiment to maintain small drivers in drm-misc, to avoid these kinds of coordination issues?
Sounds reasonable. There isn't much activity, that's why I've grouped all four qemu drivers into a single branch already.
The docs throw 403 access denied though atm. So, how would that process look like then? Would you merge my drm-qemu pulls into drm-misc? Or would I commit to drm-misc directly?
drm-misc runs with the committer model, i.e. a few maintainers to do pull requests and backmerges, a big pile of people directly pushing patches. Someone wreaked the entire 01.org domain, but you can get at all the tooling and documentation with
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel maintainer-tools
And then run make in there. We're not yet clear how exactly drivers within drm-misc would look like (wrt which drivers and how much review and stuff like that), hence the RFC. -Daniel
