Sorry but I disagree. Krzysztof has been very active reviewing Exynos
patches and even picking/queuing important fixes while it seems you
were too busy and couldn't pay close attention.

It's really great that due a role change you will have more time to
focus on the maintainership but I don't see why having more
maintainers could be something negative. As long as you work in a
coordinate manner, the more maintainers we have the better IMHO. It
may be that in the future you change your role at your company again
and then it will be good to have something else to take care of the
posted patches ;-)

It's true that Krzysztof can review any Exynos patches (like anyone
subscribed to the lists) without a co-maintainer title, but being
listed in MAINTAINERS will make sure that people know that he is
willing to review and ack Exynos patches so they should add him to the
cc list.
