One comment I've gotten from Greg in the past is to not hold on to
patches so long, so the pull request this weekend was me trying to a
first set of changes out there. This doesn't mean it has to be the only
content that goes into 5.10 (Note how the pull request said: "First set
of changes for the 5.10 merge window").

It's unfortunate that it takes so long to get things moving, I agree,
but with everything that's going on - bear in mind people deal different
with situations like the present - it is what it is.

My current dayjob doesn't pay me for working on this so the time I dedicate
to this comes out of my spare time and weekends - Personally I'd rather
not burn out and keep functioning in the long run.

Thanks,
