Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] MAINTAINERS: Set MIPS status to Odd Fixes

Hi, all,

I suggest Jiaxun Yang to be the new Linux/MIPS maintainer because of
the following reasons:

1. He is familiar with Linux kernel & MIPS architecture.
2. He is active and has already contributed many patches.
3. He is not an employee of any corporation, so people can expect him
to be neutral.
4. He is young and has enough free time to follow the mainstream
development closely.
5. His English is good and is willing to maintain a good level of
communication with other contributors.

Jiaxun, what's your opinion?

Regards,
Huacai Chen
