+-------------------------------------------------------------
+drm-misc patch and upstream merge flow and timeline explained
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Branches
+========
+
+Right now there's only `drm-misc`, plus maybe temporary topic branches. There's
+also a `drm-fixes` branch, which can be useful when Dave Airlie is on vacations.
+
+Merge Criteria
+==============
+
+Right now the only hard merge criteria are:
+
+* Patch is properly reviewed or at least ack, i.e. don't just push your own
+  stuff directly.
+
+* drm-misc is for simple driver patches, odd-ball small stuff that might easily
+  slip through the cracks and the more mundane DRM subsystem wide changes. Big
+  stuff (new drivers, big driver updates, big new DRM core features) should go
+  in through separate pull requests. Those topic branches can still be
+  maintained with the dim_ tooling, but that's of course entirely optional.
+
+* All the x86 and arm DRM drivers need to still compile. To simplify this we
+  track defconfigs for both platforms in the `drm-intel-rerere` branch.
+
+* The goal is to also pre-check everything with CI. Unfortunately neither the
+  arm side (using kernelci.org and generic i-g-t tests) nor the Intel side
+  (using Intel CI infrastructure and the full i-g-t suite) isn't yet fully ready
+  for production.
+
+* No rebasing out mistakes, because this is a shared tree.
+
+Tooling
+=======
+
+drm-intel git repositories are managed with dim_:
