    I would have expected the whole set to be merged as a set into a
    single tree, placed on an immutable branch and a pull-request to be
    sent out for the other maintainers to pull from (if they so wished).

    This would ensure development could continue on any/all of the
    affected drivers/files.

    If it's not too late, I'd be more than happy to facilitate.
