Wanted: i2c subsystem co-maintainer
Hi all,
I have a hard time maintaining the i2c subsystem alone. New drivers and, more importantly, subsystem evolutions are submitted much faster than I can review and merge them. I am hearing complaints about this. It has been lasting for a while now and it doesn't seem like the situation is going to improve. Thus, I think it would be better if someone was co-maintaining the i2c subsystem with me.
So, if anyone is interested in co-maintaining the i2c subsystem with me, please let me know. The ideal candidate would come from the embedded world, as I have absolutely no experience with this myself and most of the new drivers are for embedded devices, and should have contributed to the kernel in a significant way already.
Thanks,

Ben Dooks agreed to become my co-maintainer for the i2c subsystem. In particular, Ben will help with drivers for embedded systems, of which my experience is inexistent. Thanks Ben and welcome on board!
