Re: [PATCH 2/2] MAINTAINERS: Add myself as maintainer for PMS7003

Hi,

I've been trying to catch up on the recent discussion. A few things I
want to address:

1. My email is active and I do read patches (when CCd), but by the
time I have a proper slot to sit down and review something, it's
usually already gone through several rounds.
Chiming in at that point just for the sake of it doesn't add much value imo.

2. I get the impression you're thinking that since I'm not actively
maintaining these drivers, you can step in and take ownership. I'm
broadly fine with that, but I'd want to see more work and patches
coming from you first. If that happens, we can revisit the ownership
question. That said, do you actually have these sensors on hand to
test more invasive changes? If you've already answered that just skip
it as I'll probably stumble upon it whilst going through overdue
mails.

3. I've managed to carve out some extra time lately, so I'm happy to
be more involved with reviews going forward if that's useful.

In the meantime I'll go through the remaining emails to get better context.
