+My company uses peer feedback in employee performance reviews. Can I ask netdev maintainers for feedback?
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Yes, especially if you spend significant amount of time reviewing code
+and go out of your way to improve shared infrastructure.
+
+The feedback must be requested by you, the contributor, and will always
+be shared with you (even if you request for it to be submitted to your
+manager).
