Subject: Re: [PATCH] vfio-pci: Provide reviewers and acceptance criteria for
 vendor drivers

Please stop the factually incorrect and misleading "vendor drivers"
term.  It is a driver for a specific piece of harware, which has
absolutely nothing to do with a vendor and with an open spec can
easily support devices from multiple vendors.
