Well, we'd prefer there to be A) published documentation,
or, lacking published documentation, there be B) a coherent
technical description within the code itself what the
purpose is and how it all works conceptually (minus the
buzzwords), so that we have a common starting point when
reviewing it.

No, but it already tells us more than the 0/7 description
of the patch series did! It should be possible to improve
on that.
Maintainers reverse engineering the implementation is an
inefficient approach.
