Another approach is to use Signal's "Linked Devices" capability. Designate a central "device" (server) for FOIA purposes, and mandate all relevant public servants/elected officials using Signal add that as a li

An approach that's worked well for me was to first hack qemu to add some new (emulated) hardware, then write the kernel drivers using qemu to test (followed by running on the hardware). That does leave you with two problems instead of
