As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I think at a minimum we're 
looking for:

1. Available source code in GitHub. I'd recommend going the route of the 
PowerVM driver in git.openstack.org and get it into the openstack 
namespace and start doing your development in the open.

2. Third party CI. You could/should be running this on your driver 
changes in #1 above.

This basically sounds like a cluster driver like vCenter and PowerVC 
which poses scheduling and resource tracking issues which we've 
regretted from an architectural standpoint, so adding another driver 
that relies on this model is not attractive.

Are you also going to be proposing a Cinder storage driver and/or a 
Neutron ML2 plugin?
