No, it is correct.  I am planning on continuing to work on IPoIB to
get it to a mergable state.

I would assume the MAD integration branch would be fairly short-lived
and wouldn't need many changes pulled in.  Whoever owned the branch
(you and/or Sean) would be responsible for merging whatever you
want/need onto the branch (and conversely I would need to continue to
merge anything relevant onto my branch).

I am guessing that Sean and I will be responsible for the various
pieces of the trunk that we eventually create.
