That was my understanding as well.

Then go for it. :)  Send a patch to MAINTAINERS, get an Acked-by from
Christoffer and I'll apply it.

Gleb and I share the git tree and hand it off "formally" by email every
1 or 2 weeks to the other person.  After the email is sent, the sender
should no longer push to the shared tree.  This however is by no means
the only way to proceed, having separate trees and sending separate pull
requests works well too.  I would not mind the occasional conflict, and
I'd be hardly surprised.

Thanks,

Paolo
