To bring the elephant in the room into the discussion:

There are a huge number of patches from Cumulus that we've had real trouble
getting integrated.  I've heard rumors/been told that this is true from
other groups as well(please feel free to speak up).  I've personally seen
Joakim's frustrations with getting his patches integrated.

I think any model we come up with needs to bear in mind that we need to get
the backlog reduced to a reasonable level and to figure out a methodology
that we can be a bit more agile(for lack of a better word) in moving
forward.

One model that comes to mind is to allow 'maintainers' to focus on one
technology.  BGP/OSPF/RIP/zebra/lib could be logical breakdowns of this.
