Sure, that's why we have private repos and mailing lists.

Steps would be:
- Make a mergeable working prototype you are satisfied with
- Publish all the parts as private repos
- Request for comments and go to step 0 until everyone is satisfied
- Merge it in the kernel, then libdrm, then ddx and mesa

This is pretty much what everyone does already, so I agree with Jerome 
here, No need for a maintainer here as long as people remember that. 
Thanks Dave for spotting this bad behaviour and reminding us of the rule.
