How would you like the maintainer entry to look: - Are you OK with me taking up maintenance of configfs? - If yes, - would you like to be added as a reviewer? - would you prefer to be listed as co-maintainer? - If no, - would you have me as a co-maintainer? - or would you have me as a reviewer? I set up a tree according to the patch I submitted. I did not switch out linux-next yet, but I was about to send a request to do that. I will stall that pending your response on the above. > The Rust patches gave me pause.

For that part, all I can do is > hope someone other than I knows what the Rust should be doing. That job is part of what I just signed up for, so we have that covered. If you do not want/need my help in maintaining the C part of configfs, we can add a sub-entry for the rust parts. Best regards, Andreas Hindborg
