You misunderstand me. It is not up to me to decide who the custodian
shall be. This is a community decision, which in the past has always
been based on a track record of previous work with the U-Boot
community. It makes a lot of sense to handle this case in the same
way.

Resources and interest are but one side; the other is experience of
working with and being part of the community. Being custodian is a
really trustworthy position - but trust cannot be assigned, it results
from previous work here in the community.

Best regards,
