I would love to care and participate in review, but with the structure
of your tree you're the only one whose review counts, so I don't
participate.

As is, I'm stuck out here with my panel driver I submitted on December
14th completely ignored, and no other developer will look at it because
their review doesn't count and only yours does.

I would love for drm-panel to be moved under -misc.
