I just argue that it seems natural and reasonable that someone being willing
and able to turn page_frag into a subsystem or library might become the
co-maintainer if she/he is also willing to co-maintain it.

For the 'MAINTAINERS ' part, I guess we all want some acknowledge in some
way for the work if that is the 'motivated ' you are referring to.

For the 'work itself' part, my previous work of supporting frag API, unifying
frag & non-frag API for page_pool, removing page frag implementation in vhost_net
and recent trying of fixing IOMMU crash problem all seem to be motivated more by
getting into MAINTAINERS in your eyes?

With all due respect, it would be good to have less of speculation like
above and focus on more technical discussion.
