Thanks Javier, I appreciate the kind words.

To clarify, auxdisplay has had just about 16 patches a year (i.e. very
low), and a significant fraction of those came from Andy and Geert. In
addition, they have some of the relevant hardware and have tested
patches in the past (which I really appreciated). By contrast, I have
not had any of the hardware for years now.

So I asked Geert and Andy in private if they wanted to become the
maintainers/reviewers. They do not have much time, but Andy wants to
submit a new driver anyway, so we ended up going with Andy as M and
Geert as R, which I really appreciate.

If somebody else wants to join, I am sure they would be happy to. And
for those that may not be involved with upstream development but have
some kernel development experience, this may be a nice opportunity as
well to try becoming a reviewer/maintainer -- it is a small, fun
subsystem (if you have the hardware), with low traffic, and with a few
experienced maintainers around it like Andy and Geert that may be able
to help test patches etc.

Cheers,
Miguel
