Sure, that's why we have private repos and mailing lists. Steps would be: - Make a mergeable working prototype you are satisfied with - Publish all the parts as private repos - Request for comments and go to step 0 until everyone is satisfied - Merge it in the kernel, then libdrm, then ddx and mesa This is pretty much what everyone does already, so I agree with Jerome here, No need for a maintainer here as long as people remember that. Thanks Dave for spotting this bad behaviour and reminding us of the rule. Martin
