There are tremendous differences between Linux and Haiku:
The changes of a single Linux (2.6.x) release challenge the complete code
base of Haiku. Linux' patch stream is probably almost 2 orders of magnitude
greater.
Linux has benevolent dictator who is permanently full time employed to be
just that. I suspect at least some of the subsystem maintainers are, too.
Given how our patch reviewing has worked so far, changing the workflow in
such a way that one or some people who aren't full time employees are the
bottle necks would certainly not be an improvement.
