Please don't say this lightly. This is a very serious matter :p

Do you realize how much work this represents? Are you ready to take the
load for a long period of time?

If you are aware that being a subsystem (co-)maintainer can take
several hours per week, and are ready to spend that much time on it for
at least 6 months, then please let me know if you would be OK with the
following:

I am not working with you for such a long time, but collaboration went
just fine from my perspective, so I would be very happy to co-maintain
the hwmon subsystem with you.

Thanks,
