Since the driver from github seems to work with the mtk7630 device, what
is the process to move this upstream?

I think the developer for rt2800 can simply incorporate the changes into the mainline beta driver and the masses could test it out then.
How is the developer informed about this patch and the severity level?
Since there are zillions of notebooks now shipping with this MediaCrap hardware, I would think this is one of the more important pieces of hardware to support with the next kernel release.
