[v13,0/4] devtools: scripts to count and track symbols

  Scripts to count and track the lifecycle of DPDK symbols.

The symbol-tool script reports on the growth of symbols over releases
and list expired symbols. The notify-symbol-maintainers script
consumes the input from symbol-tool and generates email notifications
of expired symbols.

v2: reworked to fix pylint errors
v3: sent with the correct in-reply-to
v4: fix typos picked up by the CI
v5: fix terminal_size & directory args
v6: added list-expired, to list expired experimental symbols
v7: fix typo in comments
v8: added tool to notify maintainers of expired symbols
v9: removed hardcoded emails addressed and script names
v10: added ability to identify and notify the original contributors
v11: addressed feedback from Aaron Conole, including PEP8 errors.
v12: added symbol-tool ignore functionality, to ignore specific symbols
v13: renamed symboltool.abignore, typos, added ack from Akhil Goyal

Ray Kinsella (4):
  devtools: script to track symbols over releases
  devtools: script to send notifications of expired symbols
  maintainers: add new abi scripts
  devtools: add asym crypto to symbol-tool ignore
