Let me explain the git idea:
I think it's a great idea.

Porters simply grep for '"Not implemented"' and implement the
function
This sounds easy.

(Even if we define formal hooks and a port/ directory structure
porters
could of course still fork&modify the code instead. They could
probably
use the techniques described here without our explicit support.
That was the only 'downside' I could think of; eg. if I wanted to
develop firmware for both the LPC and STM series, switching
branch for my repository all the time would not be ideal. ;)
-But of course, it can be solved easily by making a repository,
which contains a "read-only" directory structure of all branches
(or something similar).
-Such a repository could be generated automatically and tagged by
a script very easily.

Every port is in its own branch
In this case, the files must share the same parent directory, in
order to be updated by a merge with master; correct ?
