Yeah, I definitely understand why you did it, but I don't think it's
something we would encourage in drm-misc.

We've discussed it with Sima yesterday, and I think we would even need
the extra check in dim to make sure that a committer shouldn't do that
without dim complaining.

Sima played a bit with it, and it should be doable to get something
fairly reliable if you use get_maintainers.pl to retrieve the git tree
(through scripts/get_maintainer.pl --no-email --no-l --scm) and figuring
out if only drm.git, drm-intel.git or drm-misc.git is involved.

If it isn't, then we should check that there's the ack of one of the
maintainers.

Could you write a patch to do so?

Thanks!
Maxime
