PS. Part of this concern comes from me just recently wondering (thus far
just by myself) if we could split the dri-devel list to core patches and
drivers patches.

I freely admit I don't have the time or interest in reading the patches
for other drivers than i915, but I do glance over almost everything
touching drm core. I'd like to encourage i915 developers to stay up to
date on what's happening in drm core, but the firehose of dri-devel can
be a bit daunting to handle. From this perspective the S/N on dri-devel
is not great. YMMV, obviously.

Feels overkill to require all small drivers to have lists of their own,
and that would also be counter productive to the ideal that they'd try
to review each other's work. Hence the idea of having a, say,
dri-drivers or drm-drivers list.

Thoughts?

BR,
Jani.
