I'm not sure about adding maintainership for one file.
You are the author of this file, so you should be consulted
during reviews if you don't catch them by yourself.
But I prefer seeing maintainers as taking charge and understanding of
a full library as a block.
And unfortunately, it does not work with the script:
devtools/get-maintainer.sh lib/librte_hash/rte_cuckoo_hash.h
You would appear as maintainer for all hash files.
It could be solved by adding header.
In fact thash is not used by other parts of the hash library (instead it
could be used by softnic for example).
From my point of view, hash library consists of two parts, hash table
itself and a number of hash functions. Hash functions, in turn, can be
used for many other purposes, not just for a hash table. Maybe we should
separate hash functions and hash table? And if you think it is a bad
idea, so be it, 4 maintainers for hash is enough.
