Yes, but... if there is no someone who is responsible for maintainership, then we would receive such emails like Heiko sent "who is going to merge" 
I don't also want adding many maintainers unnecessary but drm bridge - although the framework is a thin and small - is used *over the ARM SoC* so that many confusions may happen for upstream.

So although it's small framework or just subdirectory, we would need someone who can manage the framework to avoid further confusion if necessary.

Thanks,
