It would be also very convenient for DPDK.
Limiting the number of patchwork admins is the only way to sleep well ;)
But being able to delegate some defined areas would be great and would
avoid to create some specific patchwork instances like we do for git.
So the model would be to have several git trees with only one patchwork.
The last missing part to achieve this model would be to defined several
"Accepted" states: "Accepted in tree Y", "Accepted in main tree", etc.

Thanks a lot
