Yes I'm not interested in anything less transparent.  And in terms of
tree access, the owner of the tree is the only one who pushes anything
there.  If someone else wants to work off it, it is trivial to clone and
branch locally, then propose what you did on top back to the owner, or
keep your tree tracking the original or whatever.  We don't need more
than one pair of hands on any branch and the consequent "surprises" for
sure.

We don't do too badly on it for patches these last months, but in fact
AFAIK nobody does checkpatch.pl and sparse here.  That's something we
should take on and we'll be the better for now we plan to be serious
about upstream.  But at the same time we work with U-Boot which spews
hundreds of compile warnings from all over even with pure upstream.
