I thought usually someone takes over the maintainer role after
proving that he cares for a subsystem for a certain period of time.

I know Bartlomiej is here for a long time, but fbdev??

I know no one can replace Tomi here.

With full respect to Bartlomiej, my personal opinion -  I will prefer
to have someone as the maintainer who has worked with framebuffer
devices before.
