Maybe I'm impatient (I totally am!) but I see much of the review slowdown as a result of the feedback loop times increasing over the years. OpenStack has some really great CI and testing but I think our focus on not breaking things actually has us painted into a corner. We are losing our agility and the review process is paying the price. At this point I think splitting out the virt drivers would be more of a distraction than a help.
I think the only solution to feedback loop times increasing is to scale the review process, which I think means giving more people responsibility for a smaller amount of code.
I don't think it's strictly necessary to split the code out into a totally separate repo, but I do think it would make sense to have changes that are entirely contained within a virt driver be reviewed only by developers of that virt driver rather than requiring review by the project as a whole. And they should only have to pass a subset of the CI testing--that way they wouldn't be held up by gating bugs in other areas.
