People come and go for various reasons so I'm not sure you could make
this work effectively.  I do however like the idea of having some sort
of gate, or acceptance criteria, for being included in the list of
drivers that we associate ourselves with.

Perhaps we could devise a basic set of requirements for tests, and
then require that a common CI system somewhere be running the tests.
The test results could be used to determine (continued )acceptance.
