Don't worry too much. The entire point of drm-misc is to make contributing
to drm/gpu drivers as painless as possible. Occasionally things go a bit
wrong, but that's why I then want to focus on tooling&documentation to
make sure we'll get this right in the future (if every committer would
need to learn every implicit rule we have, we'd get nowhere at all).
Assigning blame to people doesn't help in getting better at this stuff as
a community.

Anyway just my 2cents of debriefing, looks like we're all good.
