Yes, definitely. I don't mind getting occasional pull requests from
backup maintainers when the main person is not available or when there
is a distinct area being worked on by one particular person, but please
always communicate very clearly what is going on. The last thing I want
is overriding a maintainer or having to decide between two people
giving me conflicting messages over the same code.

Shawn, if you want me to apply patches, please be more specific in
the introductory mail with something like "As agreed with Sascha,
please merge these into the arm-soc tree", or put Sascha in the To
field and address him when the patches should go through the imx
tree. If you don't address either of us directly, the likely
outcome is that we will both ignore the series.
