The patch is perfectly fine. Please see my question as half survey half
commitment device. I don't think we have a crisp enough understanding
of responsibilities of "corporate" maintainers. It always worries me
when I see someone who never (AFAICT) sent an email to the list before
get nominated as a maintainer.
So I'd like to hear from Sathesh, clearly stated, what responsibilities
and SLAs he's taking on. Once we gather input of this nature from a
handful of maintainers maybe we can distill a guide in
Documentation/process/...
