As exactly this (working with active contributors to help co-maintain the 
subsystem) has been brought at the ksummit maling list, I am just curious 
whether noone else actively working in that area was willing to step up?

	$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --git -f security/
	James Morris <james.l.morris@...cle.com> (supporter:SECURITY SUBSYSTEM)
	Mimi Zohar <zohar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> (commit_signer:51/220=23%)
	Paul Moore <pmoore@...hat.com> (commit_signer:43/220=20%,authored:24/220=11%)
	Eric Paris <eparis@...hat.com> (commit_signer:43/220=20%,authored:16/220=7%)
	David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> (commit_signer:29/220=13%,authored:24/220=11%)
	Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@...ito.it> (commit_signer:24/220=11%,authored:19/220=9%)
	John Johansen <john.johansen@...onical.com> (authored:20/220=9%)

If not, then I think this can be shown as a prime example why the problem 
of "non-substituability" of many maintainers is actually real.

Thanks,
