Yes please add me to the maintainer list. Currently the work is divided 
between Oleg and I. I also actively test this client to find any
regressions. I have been working on the LNet, libcfs cleanups and bug 
fixes. Any libcfs/LNet changes please send my way.

Also now that LNet is close to being synced with our production code it 
means I have free cycles to find all the earlier dropped patches in
the Lustre code. We have gaps in various places where patches were 
dropped. So I will be working on pushing those patches as well. Oleg
still is the main person for the Lustre core client code.

The infradead.org account is the main one. The ornl.gov is my day job
account. The yahoo and gmail accounts are used, for openid, to push
patches to the OpenSFS Lustre branch which is why you see those Signed-Off
with various patch ports.
