I agree there is a big need for that. Currently reviewing all the patches I haven't read (only 1000 mails to go...) to see if they need to be backported on top on rdma-core 15 for the next SLES.
I'd gladly help maintaining this as I'm spending time on it anyway.
I'll leave wiser people debate and ready a doc on how this should be done though :)
