Great to see the cooperation with Alibaba!

I'm not sure we can add Mahanta Jambigi, according to community
standards. Quoting documentation:

  The following characteristics of a person selected as a maintainer
  are clear red flags:

   - unknown to the community, never sent an email to the list before
   - did not author any of the code
   - (when development is contracted) works for a company which paid
     for the development rather than the company which did the work

I think the first two bullets apply:

$ git log --grep=Jambigi
$
