Monitoring the list is the plan I made before touching MAINTAINERS file,
(in case there are patches land on the list but not in our mailbox). So
if this patch applied, I guess it would be no long needed for me to
monitor the list? (Although I always go through the archives)

I do some review, and wish to handle all miscellaneous matters, leaving
enough energy for the other two to do the work they are good at.

I thought for a while to find a better wording here..
Weijie - Miscellaneous matters? Or I leave the question to you ;-)

Or we could leave the division of responsibilities out of commit message
and instead write it after '---', To prevent any future changes from
going unnoticed and not being explicitly mentioned in the commit message
again. (perhaps years later)

However, those who are interested can still find our original division
of responsibilities under '---' in the archive.

But this is just a minor issue, not a big deal. It can be handled in any
way.

Yup, and I would also love to maintain our own tree on git.kernel.org
(and mirrors?) so that we don't need to bother Alex every time.

In general I guess it would be more efficient, what do you think?

Absolutely ;-)

Agreed: Haowen is always welcomed :-)

I remembered Haowen sent a patch here [1] aiming to change his name and
address to:

Haowen Hu <srcres258@furdevs.cn>

Can we pick it up here?, while it may also needs Haowen's double check..
