A common problem on the DPDK mailing list is lack of reviewers for
patches. This script is intended to help with that problem, by picking
a random commit author from our git history, and adding a Reviewed-by:
tag. This can be added to e.g. commit-msg git hook, like so:

    # add reviewer to commit message
    $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/devtools/get-reviewer.sh >> $1

Now all DPDK code will definitely be well reviewed!
