How about this? Send a v4 with:

1. An initial MAINTAINERS entry addition in patch 1 for
   scripts/container like I suggested earlier and scripts/container
   explicitly added to the KERNEL BUILD section so that Nicolas and I
   are included for handling patches.

2. Add the Documentation to the aforementioned MAINTAINERS entry as part
   of patch 2.

3. Either encorporate my suggested change for preferring podman over
   docker with the appropriate changes elsewhere inte the patch set like
   you mentioned or explore checking for the docker alias explicitly.
   Entirely up to you timewise, as long as it results in Nicolas's
   environment working, since I don't think that will be too uncommon.

4. Encorporate any other feedback that you feel is appropriate at this
   stage (if there is any low hanging fruit).

Then we can apply it so that folks can start using it in -next for
testing and validation. After that, you can start thinking of things you
would want to work on for future merge windows from the list you already
started, as I know how that goes when working on a new tool :)
