MAINTAINERS: Begin module maintainer transition (2016-10-26 10:11:30 +1030)

----------------------------------------------------------------
(Quoting from the MAINTAINERS commit:)

Being a Linux kernel maintainer has been my proudest professional accomplishment, spanning the last 19 years. But now we have a surfeit of excellent hackers, and I can hand this over without regret.

I'll still be around as co-maintainer for another cycle, but Jessica is now the one to convince if you want your patches applied. She rocks, and is far more timely than me too!

Cheers,
Rusty.

Jessica, do you have a pgp key? And Rusty, have you signed it? That makes the whole "pull signed tags" transition nicer..

Well, I don't know her, I just know her work.

But I'll figure it out. I see a module implementation trivia game in my future!

Thanks,
Rusty.

It's fine, and I certainly don't require any key signing on maintainership change, it's just obviously a nice thing to have as a "handoff".

I'm assuming that Jessica can get her key signed lots of ways through various redhat people..

Yeah, and luckily with Plumbers coming up next week I'll be able to get a good number of signatures by then.

So somebody needs to say this, I can't be the only one thinking it... Thanks, Rusty, for all you did over all those years. The technical work was great, but what you did to make the community a more welcoming, interesting, and fun place was just as important. We'll miss you around here!

P.S. I will admit that I'm still annoyed at how you took all the profanity out of the early kernel docs.
