Sorry, I don't understand the question. We don't want to touch the
videobuf-* files unless there is a very good reason. That old videobuf
framework is deprecated and the code is quite fragile (i.e. easy to break
things).

Everything else in that directory is under continuous development.

It's core code though, so it gets a much more in-depth code review than
patches for e.g. a driver.
