Yes, but... if there is no someone who is responsible for maintainershi=
p, then we would receive such emails like Heiko sent "who is going to m=
erge"=20
I don't also want adding many maintainers unnecessary but drm bridge - =
although the framework is a thin and small - is used *over the ARM SoC*=
 so that many confusions may happen for upstream.

So although it's small framework or just subdirectory, we would need so=
meone who can manage the framework to avoid further confusion if necess=
ary.

Thanks,
