+DPDK Maintainers
+================
+
+The intention of this file is to provide a set of names that we can rely on
+for helping in patch reviews and questions.
+These names are additional recipients for emails sent to dev@dpdk.org.
+Please avoid private emails.
+
+Descriptions of section entries:
+
+	M: Maintainer's Full Name <address@domain>
+	T: Git tree location.
+	F: Files and directories with wildcard patterns.
+	   A trailing slash includes all files and subdirectory files.
+	   A wildcard includes all files but not subdirectories.
+	   One pattern per line. Multiple F: lines acceptable.
+	X: Files and directories exclusion, same rules as F:
+	K: Keyword regex pattern to match content.
+	   One regex pattern per line. Multiple K: lines acceptable.
