Jason,

Thanks for stepping up. There's no question that this Fall has been
insanely busy for me, and for the past 3 weeks or so, I've been on
vacation and Thanksgiving travel, and I'm still catching up on a
mountain of e-mail.

Something that I think would make sense is that we set up a joint git
tree on git.kernel.org, for which we would both have access to push
to, and use a group maintainership model much like what other teams
have done. Do you agree?
