I would like to chime in and remind you that there are many subsystems
where you get a lot of drive-by contribution from random people. I'm
obviously thinking about rtc but I think this would also apply to codec,
IIO, power/supply, hwmon... In that case any initial setup would be
prohibitive.
I feel like these subsystems are often left to the side when I read
threads like that talking about getting every patches reviewed, doing
more CI, etc...
So I need to emphasise that there are subsystem where people are not
backed by a company to contribute or review. What I often see is someone
having $random hardware and submitting a patch adding support for it.
That developer will definitively not review other patches because he has
no particular interest in them. He also probably doesn't have the
experience to do a review.
It is quite different from having a few big companies with huge teams
each maintaining a single driver in a subsystem... You simply can't have
the same expectations.
