Re: [PATCH v2] MAINTAINERS: Add maintainers for ARM/REALTEK ARCHITECTURE

Hi Krzysztof,

I've read maintainer-soc.rst, but I’m still a bit confused about the next
steps.

I've considered the following options:

1. I should create my own git tree (on github or on kernel.org), and send
a pull request containing this MAINTAINERS patch before next rc6.

2. I thought pull requests should normally be sent from a kernel.org git
tree, but since my name is not yet in MAINTAINERS, I assumed this particular
MAINTAINERS update should go through the soc git tree instead.

3. I was still waiting for the current maintainer (Andreas Färber) to send it,
but he has not been active since the last discussion. I checked his tree[1]
and there have been no new changes.

Could you please tell me what I should do with this MAINTAINERS patch?
