Speaking for myself: if I don't own the hardware and can't test the driver I'm reluctant to adopt it and commit it, because then I'd have a responsibility toward those customers who came along and began using it, and I couldn't properly support them. The fact that you contributed it yet no one committed it doesn't mean it isn't wanted. It only means no one committed it. We're a pretty loosely coupled outfit without many assigned responsibilities. Maybe you have the time to learn the commit process yourself so that you can add the driver and maintain it. I'm sure that would be appreciated. But it will have to wait until after the code freeze lifts. In the meantime maybe the FAQ can be updated to point to your archive file.
