So this pull request confuses me, and that's not a good thing.

So when I pull the tag, I get a different message, talking about

  This tag is the same as 9p-for-4.19 without the two MAINTAINERS patches

but I never saw a first version.

And it comes from a github address, with a pgp key that I've not seen
before, and without me having been told about said maintainership
updates. And while the  key has a lot of signatures, none of them are
any that I have recognized previously from kernel development.

I'm sure it's all ok, but honestly, there's no way I can pull this
without a bit more clarification.
