This transition plan makes sense to me.  I can dedicate more of my time helping to review kernel patches, at least for a couple of months.  Hal is listed as the other sub-maintainer.  He usually limits his input to the IB mgmt components, but maybe he can contribute more until we're over this hump?

I'm not trying to volunteer anyone, but longer term, Doug appears to be in an ideal situation for maintaining the RDMA subtree.  Because of his position at RedHat, he has a strong interest in ensuring user space compatibility, can test across a wide range of devices, and needs to deal with long term maintenance issues.
