I am trying to understand the purpose for it. Typically vendors maintain their own tree and send the patches up-stream post internal reviews only. - it is because different groups within a vendor company are sending patches and you want one maintainer to confirm/review before they come to next-net? - Or, too many patch series dependencies between the vendor patches. It is getting difficult to manage. Consider the scenerio, developer 'A' sent patches for NXP. I as maintainer of NXP, allowed them in next-net-NXP. But when I raised pull request to next-net - you have comments. Now I have to follow up with developer 'A' as from patchwork point of view, his patches are accepted and merged. Also, it may impact the quality of review, if all pull requests are raised around RC1 time.
