Hi Bongsu,

Review and testing is always appreciated. However before adding an entry
to Maintainers, I would prefer to see some activity in maintainer-like
tasks. So far there are none:

Contributing patches is not the same as maintenance. Please subscribe to
relevant mailing lists and devote effort for improving other people
code.

We had too many maintainers from many companies which did not perform
actual maintainership for long time and clearly that's not the point.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
