Well Doug is a relatively new maintainer. And the problem we have in the rdma subsystem is a pretty high degree of change with various infrastructure changes (new protocols, new drivers, new features, 100G support, code cleanup ongoing etc). He has trouble keeping up in particular since he has just been back from maternity leave. But ongoing development in this area is depending on these changes being merged in order to move forward with further development and in order to stabilize what work has been done over the last few month. So please be generous and lets go through with this merge. We will ensure that things work smoother in the future. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
