Like Jason wrote above, shared branch is valuable once the submitter has enough volume to justify. In previous cycles, when we needed it, I simply created shared branch [1] for them. Even we (Nvidia), who has enough patch volume, sometimes prefer to delay submission to next cycle and don't bother ourselves with shared branch.
