Hi Alvise,

Sorry, I consider that each person can really only ack for themselves
for MAINTAINERS entries, I'm not going to sign-up anyone without their
explicit approval, nor am I going to invent an Acked-by for a commit
log based on an informal comment.  This was also a little bit of a
test, given that we have no history, I was hoping for a proactive
review.  It's too late for this patch, but you're welcome to submit a
new patch adding yourself, preferably after some participation in this
area.  I'm not interested in adding entries only as tokens of company
lineage, we have attributes in source files and commit logs for that.
I do appreciate you making us aware of Baptiste's departure though so
that we can keep these entries current.  Thanks,

Alex
