But what if every module maintainer to be a kernel-team member to work
in his modules? Wouldn't be that hard to have it done. We might have a
process to accept a module in tree but after that it start to be part
of maintainence of kernel team itself.
I just realised that it might be a good workaround for our current
problems.
