Folks:
1. It is okay to have more maintainers or reviewers
2. Document the express, be explicit in commit msg, provide some reasoning
3. Be sure BEFORE you talked with existing maintainers and they are
onboard, unless they are not responsive
4. Explain why the list of three has to grow to list of 5 (or you did
not align it with your colleagues, either). Yes, I see your other emails
and it is very confusing that two of such events happen independently.
It is not community task to coordinate your team activities...

Best regards,
Krzysztof
