Greg Kroah-Hartman (famous for giving a blanket offer to develop device
drivers for free all hardware companies, including signing NDAs if needed)
is now going to be working full time on managing this driver development.

This is great news; it should really speed up driver development. In my
humble opinion, this is probably the best news this year with regards to
Linux.
