I like this idea. I agree, as things grow it is probably easier to
find folks that know certain areas a project rather than the full
scope.<br>
<br>
This could be a good way to handle the load and delegate some pieces
(such as driver reviews) to a different set of people.<br>

<div><b>Issue</b></div>
<div><b>-------</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Projects are becoming bigger and bigger overtime. </div>
<div>More and more people would like to contribute code and
usually core reviewers</div>
<div>team can't scale enough. It's very hard to find people that
understand full project and have enough time to do code
reviews. As a result team is very small under heavy load and
many maintainers just get burned out. </div>

</div>
<div>We have to solve this issue to move forward. </div>

<div>Let's introduce subsystems cores.</div>

</div>
<div>Really it's hard to find cores that understand whole
project, but it's quite simple to find people that can
maintain subsystems of project. </div>

<div>Gerrit is not so simple as it looks and it has really neat
features ;)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For example we can write own rules about who can put +2 and
merge patch based on changes files. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We can make special "subdirectory core" ACL group. </div>
<div>People from such ACL group will be able to merge changes
that touch only files from some specific subdirs. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As a result with proper organization of directories in
project we can scale up review process without losing quality.
