New co-maintainer for ASUS driver

New co-maintainer for ASUS driver

[Denis Benato]

Hello,

I am Denis Benato and I have been asked by my friend and person I estimate Luke to help him in his asus support effort and I gladly accepted.

As a first step I have refined his asus-armoury as requested and resent it upsteam [1].

With quite a few more work on the horizon for me, like the hid-ally driver, adding more models to the asus-armoury driver and working on the xg mobile interface I want to ask what's the best thing for me (and everybody) going forward?
Should I be added as a driver maintainer? Please, advice me on what to do next.

Thanks for your time and understanding,
Denis Benato

I suggest that when sending your next patch series regarding the asus-wmi driver, you include
a patch adding yourself to the MAINTAINERS entry of the asus-wmi driver. This way contributors
can automatically CC you on patches touching said driver.

+1 to this suggestion. I think that adding You (Denis) as
maintainer makes sense and this is the best way to do it.
