The overall problem is that not all patches are being looked at immediately and
then they are being forgotten about. Not enough reviewers, yes. :/

I added some people to CC, that might be able to take a look at this. (mostly 
because
I know that they are working with broadcom devices)

Hm, lack of reviewers is a universal problem, but also lack of reviewers
who are also comitters. A lot of patches are simply applied without
review by maintainers who know what they are doing, and that is what
one has to do when the community isn't big enough.

In the Linux DRM community we solved it by liberally handing out
commit access. It works there.

I'm pretty sure I can handle commit access but I have no idea how that
is handled out in the OpenWrt community. Some level of trust I suppose.

this happens by a voting call. I was searching for a wik page documenting it, 
but so far I only fond this link which may serve as an example:
https://openwrt.org/voting/2023-04-25

But I would be all for giving you commit access, given the relevance and the 
amount of your contributions.

Enrico

Yours,
Linus Walleij
