FYI, this section only applies to the core framework itself. The
individual test files are all distributed across the arch target
maintainers.

I was in two minds as to whether to declare myself a replacement
maintainer for Thomas. I'll try to collect & review any patches
to the core framework in the absence of anyone else wanting to
step up, but I didn't want to guarantee I'd be able to spend
regular time on it as a formal maintainer assignment.
