To help this process, once the change over happens, we will help to monitor
driverdev-devel for anything submitted to staging/rdma.  If something is
submitted which was not to Doug and linux-rdma we can handle alerting the
submitter to make sure it gets submitted to Doug as per the current MAINTAINERS
file.

Hope this helps,
