I'm also not really happy. Should all us ARM sub-architecture maintainers get together and make a jumbo pull request with everything merged together? Like someone, not you or RMK, would take all the sub-architecture requests and put them into a single pull request w/ lots of details as to what it all is .. I know that doesn't solve what you said in the original email, how we develop. One thing to remember is that we have tons of ARM device to manage, and lots of chip manufactures .. So ARM is pretty diverse. I'm not saying we're all perfect however.
