[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-announce] [HELP REQUIRED] call for reviews

[Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>]

Hi,

DPDK 20.05-rc1 is planned to be released in less than three weeks.
This is challenging because some patches are missing reviews.

We all want to have our code reviewed and accepted.
It will happen if everybody take time to read ideas,
comment the designs and review the implementations.
