Why? Bindings are not really related to driver implementation, they are
shared with other projects. Binding reviewers usually care less about
implementation, so combining it with drivers forces me to read carefully
each one of 300 emails I receive...

Anyway, that's the policy since years, so nothing new here.

Best regards,
