We don't have any rules about when we decide to upstream a new filesystem. There are at least four filesystems considering inclusion right now; bcachefs, SSDFS, composefs and nvfs. Every new filesystem imposes certain costs on other developers (eg those who make sweeping API changes, *cough*). I don't think we've ever articulated a clear set of criteria, and maybe we can learn from the recent pain of accepting ntfs3 in the upstream kernel.
