[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] maintainers: add self to baseband maintainers

[Chautru, Nicolas]

Hey Tom, 
Thanks for your recent reviews.
My only concern with this is how in reality you would be able to serve the role of maintainer for these drivers/lib/test and engage in meaningful discussions? 
Do you understand 3GPP and the related processing and what these devices are actually doing? Supporting them in linux and generic coding guide line review is one thing, but maintainer would need broader understanding arguably. 
I think you reviews are super valuable (dpdk coding guide lines, error handling...) and I can make sure to include you generally for review for all related contributions, I am just unsure whether in reality that corresponds to what would be required to be a maintainer. 
I am just thinking aloud here, let me know what you think
Thanks
Nic
