Anyone can submit patches, and there can be a contact person from a company even if it's not mentioned in MAINTAINERS. I want to see that a maintainer really cares about upstream and works with the community, like you Arend do. I do not want to add persons to MAINTAINERS file and never hear from them again, that's just wasting everyone's time. To give a positive example, Ping does a great job maintaining Realtek's rtw88 and rtw89 drivers. So if a company wants to learn how to become a good maintainer, follow what Ping does :) -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
