Doug, Dave

I would like to clarify this point, we intend to send pull request to only
one maintainer, who actually needs the accepted patches.

Let's take the RDMA flow counters series as an example:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg65620.html

This series includes 12 patches for RDMA and 2 shared code
(mlx5-next). Those two patches, the RDMA side will receive as part
of specific pull request and netdev will get them if some netdev
feature down the road will need mlx5-next branch.

Of course, it is harmless for both of you to pull, but it looks like
extra work which is not needed for you.

Thanks
