[PATCH] maintainers: resign from eal maintenance

[David Marchand]

I have been a little too busy these past months and could not really
do any real maintainer stuff for dpdk for a while now.

I have no clear idea when I could dedicate more time to dpdk.
So the best thing for the dpdk community would be to move the eal
maintenance to more involved people.

No worries. It happens to be busy with other stuff,
and maintainer's role takes time.

Your contributions were really appreciated.
You will be welcome when you will have time to dedicate to DPDK again.

You are right. Thank you

The EAL buses PCI and vdev are moving to drivers/bus/ so there will be
new maintainers for those parts.
The EAL archs are already maintained.
We need to find volunteers for some Linux-specific code and other generic
common API.
