Shouldn't people have proven to be willing to stick around before being
added as a kernel maintainer? Additionally, what is the experience level of
Pedro with kernel development? All I know is the following:

$ git log --author "Pedro Sousa" | wc -l
0
$ git log | grep -c "Pedro Sousa"
0

Are you aware that people who are not mentioned in the MAINTAINERS file are
allowed to review kernel patches?

Thanks,

Bart.
