Hi, Ferruh Yigit
We plan to send the roadmap, but we're not sure what it requires? Is
it per vendor or per PMD vendor? What should he contain?
Thanks

> * Things to improve
> * next-net is busy, %60+ of the commits coming from next-net,

> * Add a co-maintainer in that level
> * Andrew (backup maintainer) is great candidate if he can spare time
> He is already helping on reviews
> * He already covered during release when Ferruh is on holiday
> * Testpmd maintainership is not working fine, find maintainers for it
> * Should we add more vendor trees?
> * Huawei is contributing more, should it have a vendor sub-tree?
> * Huawei is being good citizen mostly
> * CI can be improved
> * Top level Thomas/David may felt the last minute stress more this time
