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
