I think this can't prevent no any feedback at this thread for more than
1 month.

Basic, this patch did two things, one add mail list imx@lists.linux.dev to
keep us track all imx related patch in one mail list. generally, we don't
check linux-i3c mail list frequently.

The other things is add me to maintainer, If you have concern about it.
You'd better said as
- point to the path to be maintainer, such as do reviewer first for some
times.
- or simple reject this, I can post the patch, which only add
imx@lists.linux.dev.

Keep simple, two questions:
1: are you agree on add imx@lists.linux.dev?
2: are you agree on I as reviewer?

I agree on "the lack of fluent exchanges", No any i3c maintainer involve
my i3c target support discussion, even just said, it is "not good at all".
