Additionally, what is the experience level of > Pedro with kernel development? All I know is the following: Pedro Sousa is my team member and has been working in Unipro/UFS Synopsys drivers for almost 2 years. His work has been mainly internal, and now our goal is to start using the mainline DWC UFS driver I submitted 2 years ago in our regular activities, update and maintain it effectively as we are doing in other titles. Currently I am Pedro' manager, and in my opinion he has the right experience for this step and that is why I am suggesting to transfer Synopsys driver maintenance from me to him. > > $ git log --author "Pedro Sousa" | wc -l > 0 > $ git log | grep -c "Pedro Sousa" > 0 > > Are you aware that people who are not mentioned in the MAINTAINERS file are > allowed to review kernel patches? Yes, I am aware and Pedro is perfectly capable of doing that, and for that reason I am suggesting him as the right person to maintain Synopsys UFS driver. > > Thanks, > > Bart. > Thanks, Joao
