Hi Viresh,

I understand that it is okay to pass the maintainership, within the
company, for platform specific parts from one person to another, since
they have the best knowledge of the code and are the only one
interested in maintaining it too.

But what is the rule for generic drivers like this one ?
Dunno if this is really a rule, but if a maintainer steps out and makes
sure there is someone to pick up the work, this is more than welcome.
Way better than a stale entry in the MAINTAINERS file.

I mean, it does not limit the chance to have further maintainers, for
example. I believe in meritocracy here. Those who do and collaborate,
shall get responsibility.
Exactly. I'd like to see Jian Jun Chen do and collaborate first.

Hi Michael,

Sure, I will start to collaborate first.

If not, then not. We can fix this, too, if
needed.

What is the reason for your question?

All the best,
