I'm trying very hard not to get volunteered for ttm maintainer :-)
Nominally Alex&Christian have drm-misc commit rights, but they haven't
used them yet. But I think merging through drm-misc would make sense,
there's regular pull request trains for both -next and -fixes. Or merge
through the amd tree with Dave's ack, but I'd really like to get amd folks
into the drm-misc group ...
