I'll let you decide whether you want to be sole maintainer or not. For any bigger subsystems, it's good practice to have two maintainers, even if one of them does all the work. I think it makes sense to have Jean-Christophe as the primary maintainer and owner of the git tree, but it may also be good to have you or Tomi listed as a second maintainer for times when Jean-Christophe isn't available. I don't know how many patches you'd expect per release, maybe just one person is enough after all.
