Unfortunately, similar to a number of other Enterprise Open Source projects, despite being on GitHub, potential contributors still cannot open any tracked bugs, and need to print and scan a CLA before submitting any code.

you're thinking of minimax.

this is a very old idea. ndiswrapper did this for network drivers back in 2003, and freebsd implements shim layers for linux graphics drivers, linux applications, some solaris kernel modules (dtrace, firewall, others?). the main problem is

that's an incredible margin, and sounds suspiciously like they didn't enable optimizations on gcc, or set icc to optimize for a specific processor and gcc to generic, or something like that.

this is the purpose of the gcc -mtune flag, which does have an actual purpose beyond being used in the utterly redundant -march=native -mtune=native.

any usb gadget should require root, otherwise there are serious security issues. my concern with drivedroid is that it is closed source, which is highly worrisome for a root app.

IE Tab was an extension, never a native feature. It was one of the many innovations allowed by the open extensions API, allowing anybody to make major features without formal approval.

there are other "C++ programmer trying to write C" anti-patterns, such as typedefed structs and one "class" per file, leading to terrible performance without LTO. stuff like https://source.netsurf-browser.org&

on a fully virtualized system, echo o > /proc/sysrq-trigger is going to be as close to a forced shutdown as you can get. that won't test hardware/firmware issues, but neither will a VM stop anyways.
