No worries, I'm calm. ?But if you're taking care of the patch
and not the nominal maintainers, likely the MAINTAINERS entry
should be updated.

Presumably the equivalent ubi patch will be handled in the
same fashion,

For drivers/mtd/ubi, Artem is also a nominal maintainer, but
last signed a patch in 2014.

Likely the MAINTAINERS entry for UBI should be updated too.

Maybe something like:

I can be the official patch monkey for UBIFS.
Especial as the git tree is the same as for UBI.

But I definitely want to keep Artem.
He gives very valuable input and knows UBIFS much better than I do.

Same here. Artem has to stay.

That's fine and it's your (and his) choice what do to.

Perhaps an "R:" (reviewer) entry is appropriate for Artem.

Hi Joe,

could please, re-send this patch with the following modifications:

1. Put Richard's name first.
2. Do not remove mine and Adrian's name. We are not very active, but
still useful.

Thanks!

Hello Artem.

It's not really for me to change Richard's maintainership.
It should be his sign-off, not mine.

My suggestion would be to add him and designate you and Adrian
as R: reviewers instead of M: maintainers like below.

I think it is a little bit too early.
