[dpdk-dev] doc: add maintainer role about replying questions
Checks
Commit Message
The first line of the MAINTAINERS file are:
"
The intention of this file is to provide a set of names that we can rely on
for helping in patch reviews and questions.
"
Unfortunately, some maintainers do not endorse their role for questions
asked on the mailing list.
Hope making it clear in the contribution guide will enforce more
responsive maintainer participation.

Applied, please share with maintainers.
@@ -67,6 +67,7 @@ The role of the component maintainers is to:
* Review patches for the component or delegate the review.
The review should be done, ideally, within 1 week of submission to the mailing list.
* Add an ``acked-by`` to patches, or patchsets, that are ready for committing to a tree.
+* Reply to questions asked about the component.
Component maintainers can be added or removed by submitting a patch to the ``MAINTAINERS`` file.
Maintainers should have demonstrated a reasonable level of contributions or reviews to the component area.
