I can also see your Copyright at some places, which I didn't find in the upstream repo. Did you add some code change?

IMO, if you are just maintaining it, doesn't mean you add your copyright. Eg: I maintain the appletbdrm driver, but I didn't write or add anything special in it, so it doesn’t have my copyright.

Also, did you ask Ernesto whether he wants to be a co maintainer?
