So let's keep the maintainers as-is, e.g. each previous project
keepts it's own maintainer similar to driver maintainers in the kernel.
We'll add Jason as a global maintainer for the build system or any
non-controverial fixes and we should be much better setup than the
current situation.

Combine that with kernel-like major releases plus minor release on
demand and we should have a winning setup.

Now we just need to bikeshed on a good name for the repo, because
honestly rdma-plumbing sucks as a name :)
