Steffen, after some discussions with Herbert we'd like to formally
recognize your outstanding contributions to the IPSEC stack over
the past few years by listing you explicitly as a maintainer as
per the patch below.

Let us know if you are OK with this.

Thanks!

I'm absolutely OK with this, of course :)

Being one of the maintainers, I'd like to run our automated IPsec
tests on incomming paches before they get applied. So I'd think
about a workflow and propose something if you are OK with that.

If you want you can maintainer an IPSEC GIT tree, where you apply any
submitted IPSEC changes.

Once you are satisfied with their quality and they pass your tests,
you simply send me a formal GIT pull request just like any other
networking subsystem (netfilter, wireless, etc.) currently does.

Sounds good, let's do it this way. I'll set up a git tree and
process the incomming IPsec patches.

I've set up two git tries at kernel.org, an 'ipsec' tree that tracks the
net tree and an 'ipsec-next' tree that tracks the net-next tree.

They are located at

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/ipsec.git
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/klassert/ipsec-next.git

Once the workflow for IPsec patches is established, I'll ask for
linux-next inclusion of the ipsec-next tree to get early stage
testing of the IPsec changes.

Regarding my own IPsec patches, I'll continue to send them to netdev
for review with the remark that I'll apply them to the appropriate
tree if nobody has objections.
