Hi Frank, Xiaogang, Zhang Fei, and Sun Hua,

Would it be possible to split it into two patches?

patch 1 Add docs
patch 2 Modify MAINTAINERS

The title is great!

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to write it this way. I don't object to 
them, but I think it's a bit strange to put them below the title.

Actually, this is a suitable place to write an introduction.

Could this be all of the content? It appears to deviate slightly from 
the title.

I think this part of the content can be written in the code comments.

I'm quite interested in the long-term planning of this directory. 
Because compared with the documents in other parallel directories 
(wangxun is not a good example), there is still a great deal of content 
that needs to be written. Of course, I'm not sure if there are any 
engineers in your team whose mother tongue is Chinese. If it's 
convenient, it would be even better if a Chinese document could be 
prepared as well.


Thanks,
Yanteng
