We only need this because I am not a maintainer of the LED flash class 
or the LED class.

But since I authored the code it only made sense to add me as a 
maintainer for this specific class.

You are one of the maintainers of the LED subsystem and wrote the Flash 
class so your maintainer ship is implied and you will be CC'd for all 
patches.

This will not be the case for the multi color class
