Request to create one new repository for "iei-ipmi-oem"

[lxwinspur]

Hey, all:

We would like to create a new repository: iei-ipmi-oem This repository provides IEIsystems-specific IPMI command handlers for x86 and power platforms for OpenBMC.

Proposed maintainer: liuxiwei@ieisystem.com

Thanks BRs George Liu

IMO, ideally some day we'd consolidate all the OEM ipmi repos into https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-host-ipmid, which would help to not have to create a new repo every time a new OEM command set gets added.

Given that so far as I know nobody is willing to take that on at the moment, this proposal is following exactly the same pattern as other OEM commands, and the proposed maintainer has a long history of contributions, I have no objections to creating a new repo.

@edtanous I did intend to make the same comment about merging all the IPMI OEM repos into phosphor-host-ipmid. But, I don't have much of a stake in IPMI at the moment, so I guess we carry on.

@lxwinspur Should we rename the inspur repository? The meta layer was deleted and I assume your bios has significant overlap.

The TOF can get this taken care of. Please be patient.

I think @geissonator got this done for you today. Go ahead and delete maintainers, update owners and submit on Gerrit and I'll get it merged quickly for you.
