This already happens today at many companies. I write a few of these a year for companies that I do not work at, and have been for the past decade or so. It's not unusual and the companies that recognize that having their developers be a valued part of the overall kernel community is a very good thing to support.

Interesting. In the QEMU community I've never been asked for this kind of perf-feedback (with one exception in the last decade, which was related to a promotion case), and I don't think my fellow-developers would appreciate it if I passed on the request-for-feedback stuff my own employer's annual-review process includes. But if you're all happy to fill in those forms then I guess it works for you...
