Hi Chen,

A description of why this change is being made should go here.

As this is a patch for Netfilter documentation, it should probably be
targeted at nf-next like this:

Subject: [PATCH nf-next] ...

And Pablo, Jozsef, netfilter-devel and coreteam should be CCed.

If you do post a follow-up, please do allow 24h between it and your
original post as per:

https://docs.kernel.org/process/maintainer-netdev.html

The documentation update itself looks good to me.


Pablo and Jozef,

Should we add tproxy.rst to the MAINTAINERS entry for NETFILTER
so that get_maintainer.pl does the right thing?
