While I'm really mostly a DPDK outsider, I'd like to express my support
for this suggestion. For my part, I'm mostly interested in the general
development discussion on dpdk-dev, not details about changes in e.g.,
the i40 PMD code. Architecture discussions, usage questions etc tend to
get drowned in an endless flow of patches.

... and I think this is one of the great features of github. For an
example on how discussions on merge requests can look, take a look at
e.g., one of the rust-lang merge requests:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/25058#discussion_r29548050
which shows nice git commit links, discussions about relevant parts of
the commits, automatic test results etc. Bug reports also get very
nicely integrated into the workflow.
I used to be more of a command-line guy, but I'm starting to see the
benefits of the github way of doing things, and I think it would be a
nice improvement for DPDK to start using it as well.
