None outside of netdev. Really, if you get rdma patches include linux-rdma. Or at least linux-kernel where I will usually catch this sort of stuff. netdev is too high traffic and too far away from my area of work to watch it. But for example when I wrote my first RDMA ULP I did subsribe to linux-rdma, started extensive discussions and fixed up lots of core code. There is no excuse for other people to not even try.
