Managing is often code word for some other problem:
- how can I get my change accepted or
- how can we reduce the number of unwanted contributions
The most productive open source projects make it clear the state and requirements
for getting patches accepted, DPDK is doing well on this. It is just that
with there are more contributors than reviewers (could also be a trust
issue).
As far as more changes, outside original scope. I agree with Linus,
who always wanted to make sure that some bluebird patch could be accepted
at anytime. I.e no hard and fast roadmap limiting scope.

Agreed.
