Traditionally people are asked to be a maintainer, or they volunteer to
take over unmaintained projects.  The only time I've see co-maintainers,
is for larger projects, and then, it was a group decision.

For something as "small" as musb, what is the benefit to anyone to have
more than one maintainer?

It seems to me that things are finally settling down with the recent
musb mess, and I've been extremely happy with how Felipe has been
handling things, and I honestly don't want to see that change at the
moment.

So I'd stick with what we have now, unless you feel there are issues
with how Felipe is handling things, and if so, you should take that up
directly with him and only if that doesn't work out, me.

thanks,
