I've applied this.  I am curious, though: what is your sense for what
being designated a "maintainer" means?  Do you envision something beyond
reviewing patches (for which an "R:" entry would be most appropriate)?

In any case, you help with the documentation is appreciated!

Thanks,

jon

P.S. There is normally no need to send a new version of a patch just to
pick up a tag; b4 makes that just work.
