Dunno if this is really a rule, but if a maintainer steps out and makes
sure there is someone to pick up the work, this is more than welcome.
Way better than a stale entry in the MAINTAINERS file.

I mean, it does not limit the chance to have further maintainers, for
example. I believe in meritocracy here. Those who do and collaborate,
shall get responsibility. If not, then not. We can fix this, too, if
needed.

What is the reason for your question?

All the best,

   Wolfram
