I'm not sure I understand your question but let me take a shot at what
I think you mean. I think you mean, how does a developer someone go
about creating a driver for a new product?

1. They announce their intensions on the mailing-list (here), just to
check that no other developer is actively working the same driver.
This isn't mandatory, but can often avoid cases where multiple people
are working on the same end-goal.

2. Wait a week, anyone interested will likely comment very quickly, if
they are already working on something. If you get little or no
feedback then nobody is working in that area.

3. Assuming nobody is working on it (as in your case), go ahead and
start development - or hire someone to engineer the driver on your
behalf.
