For any bigger subsystems, it's good practice to have two maintainers,
even if one of them does all the work. I think it makes sense to have
Jean-Christophe as the primary maintainer and owner of the git tree,
but it may also be good to have you or Tomi listed as a second maintainer
for times when Jean-Christophe isn't available.

I don't know how many patches you'd expect per release, maybe just one
person is enough after all.
