Thanks for pointing this out.

We would also very much prefer for this area to be maintained
by people with deeper expertise in the clock/timekeeping domain
(such as David). The reason David was not listed in this version
is that an earlier attempt to ask about maintainership did not
receive a reply[1]. So we avoided adding without confirmation.

If David has no objections to being listed here, that would
definitely be preferable from our perspective. Other suggested
clock/timekeeping experts would also be very welcome.
