Hi Thomas,
Could you please pick this patch ?

This low-priority patch has been sent 4 days ago, and was acked by only 1 maintainer 3 days ago. Why pushing? What is your fear exactly? Why the new maintainers candidates have 0 and 2 contributions in git history?

There's no fear I just normally wanted to send a reminder to you to pick as it might be missed inclusion. If there's a guarantee that all ack'ed patches will go automatically then I won't be sending any reminder emails in future. > > Why the new maintainers candidates have 0 and 2 contributions > in git history? > These drivers requires some maintenance and likely expanded to support future chips from Marvell. So you will not see contributions right away. So to become a maintainer one has to have prior contributions ? Kind of makes odd sense as these drivers are specific to our chip and we are changing ownership for maintaining them. I do not understand why you have an issue here? You don't like reminding then I understand. regards, Radha Mohan

Yes: http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/contributing/patches.html#maintainers-and-sub-trees " Maintainers should have demonstrated a reasonable level of contributions or reviews to the component area. The maintainer should be confirmed by an ack from an established contributor.

So am I technically to the community. Also the thing that puzzles me most is its a driver specific to Marvell and both the previous maintainers are ok with the transfer but a strange rule that probably applies to generic things of dpdk code (which really makes sense there) comes as a blocker. And how does new driver go? Lets say if either myself or veerasena have pushed a new driver now who has to ack it for inclusion ? Isn't that like a chicken and egg problem.

Listen: I say I don't like how pushy you are, that's all. In general it's very good to have new contributors. But please think how you can help instead of just requesting. We have a lot more important things to care at the moment to close the big release 20.11. If you want to help, you are welcome.
