I am not a developer, but I stumbled upon this just a couple of days ago
in the OpenWRT forums:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=53215
In short, MediaTek is looking for volunteers to help get their drivers
mainlined in the upstream kernels; this includes drivers for their USB
and PCI wifi hardware under both the MediaTek and Ralink brands. They
are willing to provide "chip info, reference driver, dev board, etc" and
even some degree of sponsorship, apparently subject to their
management's approval.
In exchange, they require that the volunteers fulfill the following
requirements:
- skilled in wifi driver development
- provide a suitable schedule / roadmap
- be able to get the code mainlined in the official linux kernel.
Those who are keen on taking up the task can contact the original poster
at hua.shao[AT]mediatek.com
**Disclaimer: I am in no way related to, or under the employ of MediaTek
or Ralink. I am only posting this here because I have a handful of MT
wifi chips which I hope to see being supported in the upstream kernel so
that I can actually use them under Linux,
