Hi Daniel,
I register the account and get the drm-misc commit rights now, thanks.

Since rockchip is in drm-misc that means we need a new maintainer who also
has drm-misc commit rights. Sandy doesn't yet, so if Sandy is going to be
the new maintainer we need to fix that.

Also, Heiko, are you interested in becoming co-maintainer? With commit
rights and all.

I always feel somewhat inadequate judging the fast-paced drm stuff, as in
the past once I got my head wrapped around something, drm always
somehow moved another mile already ;-) .

But somewhere I read that drm-pace for big changes is supposed to slow a
bit now that atomic modesetting is done in a lot of places, so we could give
co-maintainership for the Rockchip-drm a try - with Sandy wearing the
actual hat for big changes though ;-) .

Yeah I think on the modeset side it calmed down a lot. We're still
fine-tuning the helper libraries as we're figuring out better ways to
write drivers. But right now I think a lot of the action is all in details
not relevant for many drivers.

If Sandy's ok with that too pls request an fd.o account for drm-misc and
set up the tooling per our quickstart guide:

Thanks, Daniel
