I think the initial experiment worked fairly well, and the kickstarting of a review (well, ack/best practices really) market seems to work ok-ish too. I think we can try to make it (slowly) scale to more drivers, with driver teams interested in being part of drm-misc. I do think we need to be careful though, to make sure we don't overstretch the review/mentoring bandwidth and can improve process&tooling as we go.
