  Add a maintainers section to the contributors guide to have a low tech
location to check/link to the current maintainers. This file is included
dynamically from the MAINTAINERS file in the root directory of the DPDK
source when the docs are built. This also allows us to link to the file
from other sections of the docs.

You find it more useful than http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/plain/MAINTAINERS ?

Applied, thanks
