(thanks for the kind words from reviewers :) )

Thinking about it (and remembering having a discussion about
submaintainers for MM in general at LSF/MM):

@Andrew, do we want "official" submaintainers for that section? If so,
we could turn my R into an M. Further, Oscar did a lot of work in the
memory hot(un)plug world as well -- so if we want submaintainers, Oscar
might be a very good fit as well.

... I guess, that would mostly reflect reality :)
