If by "delay" you mean wait until a merge window, then I definately 
agree -- that's just more cofusing for folks to have defacto 
maintainership outside of the tree, might as well get these in.  It's 
not like a MAINTAINERS update is going to introduce a regression or 
anything.

I'm just delaying because I just want to wait to make sure folks from 
the subsystems are OK with the updates, as these aren't really anything 
to do with RISC-V so it's not really my decision to make.
