Thanks! Yes, it'll be great to have more people watching this. And thank
you for the review and contribution so far, nice job!

I'm currently waiting for both lock maintainers and Rust maintainers
opinions on the particular changes on the MAINTAINERS file (for example,
maybe they want something similar to "RUST [ALLOC]" entry, i.e. a
standalone entry). My plan is to send the PR after everyone is on the
same page. And you're welcome to send a patch adding yourself in the
entry afterwards.
