Hi Jan,

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Jan Karcher
for his long-standing and dedicated
efforts in maintaining the SMC code.
Jan's contributions have been instrumental in driving
its stability and adoption. Contributors from Alibaba
have also been actively engaged in the development
of SMC over the past years. We look forward to working
closely with them and the wider community to continue
evolving SMC in the upstream kernel.

Best regards,
Sidraya
