Do we need a board to define the scope of this board? ;)

The only reason I see to reject a project, would be to consider that the
project is not related to DPDK enough. I think it will be an obvious decision.
So it shouldn't be a high responsibility nor a high workload to add to this
board.
But clearly, the hosted projects (except DPDK itself) should not be impacted
by the DPDK board.
