Hi all,
Following the discussion of DPDK user space and the maintenance of developm=
ent sub-trees, I'd like to volunteer myself to be the maintainer of sub-tre=
e driver/net/intel. It includes all the PMD of Intel NICs. And Helin can be=
 my backup.
I suggest we create a new directory to move the driver/net/e1000, driver/ne=
t/fm10k... to it. And we can also create directories for other vendors just=
 like the kernel driver do.

Additionally, as we observed, some patch sets will not only change the file=
s in drivers/net, but also some files in lib/librte_ether, doc, app, exampl=
es... Only being drivers/net/intel maintainer cannot work for these patch s=
ets, especially for the new features. Applying partial feature patch set is=
 not ideal. Ideally we need a maintainer to drive the RTE_ETHER discussion.=
 Maybe Bruce can be a top-level maintainer. So, he can help when we face th=
is scenario.

Best regards
Wenzhuo Lu
