Hi,

Sorry for my late reply to this thread and I hope that it is not too
late to join this topic.

We are in RDMA subsystem in the process of unifying our user-space
parts of RDMA stack to be similar in structure and schedules to
kernel. There is over all consensus that current kernel maintainer
(Doug Ledford) will take responsibility of this meta-bundle [1]
(initial stage, WIP).

However, in the last year, we saw increasing interest in RDMA
technology and steady stream of new drivers and features, including
ABI redesign. The next year is expecting to be more challenging, so it
is vital to us to rethink our maintainership model, before everything
collapse :).

We (me and Doug, if he didn't register to this yet) would be very
interesting to join and discuss different models to manage RDMA stack.

Thanks
