Improvments for NVMeOF dissector

["Constantine Gavrilov" <CONSTG () il ibm com>]

Sometime ago, I started to work on NVMEoF dissector. I have already 
contributed the number of fixes and improvements and they have already 
been merged.

My goal is to have a full dissection for connection establishment, 
management and IO flow, and I would like to move on quickly.

The goal is to contribute back to the community. I am not seeking 
recognition -- I have plenty of that in my place of work. The goal is to 
help and express my gratitude to the project.

After initial changes merged, I am stuck at getting my current merge 
request (#17282) reviewed. I understand that this is a volunteer project 
and all people are busy. But I do have a problem with broken line of 
communication. My personal opinion is that if a core developer "picks up" 
the merge request and has review comments, they shall follow up on the 
requested changes that a contributor has provided. If they loose focus or 
interest, they shall inform the contributor, instead of just 
"disappearing".  As a contributor,  I can control any form of merge 
request assignment or have control over who will look at the merge 
request.

The fact that people are busy goes both ways -- for contributors as well 
as core developers. I am looking into improving my contribution experience 
for NVMEoF. Perhaps there is a core developer who is willing to look at 
the changes and has sufficient interest and available time to work with me 
on reviewing NVMEoF dissector changes? As it stands now, I feel blocked 
from contributing (just because the speed of the review and people 
dropping off). I am busy and will eventually have hard choices to make...

Perhaps I can get approval to join core developers?
