[dpdk-dev] release manager backup

[Thomas Monjalon]

Hi,

I would like to propose to have more people able to commit
in master branch, and make releases.
The goal is to have some backups to make sure there is always
someone to take this role in case of accident or long vacations.

It will require to well document the procedures and make sure
rights are granted.

Given the role they have currently in the release process,
I suggest to nominate Yuanhan Liu and Ferruh Yigit.

Please, can it be discussed and voted during the next
Technical Board meeting?

Yes, I think this is a good idea. [What with all the buses working with
DPDK now, I think we need a good plan in case you get hit by one. :-P ]

You overestimates how strong are those buses!

Are you applying for a role as risk manager? :)
