I finally side-stepped this by appointing Jessica maintainer, thus her
Reviewed-by is sufficient for the module tree.

Awesome! :)

Lazy, huh?

Laziness has always been the main power behind all the progress of the
mankind :P

Jessica, do you want me to take the patch through livepatching tree still,

Once I'm done fumbling with maintainership logistics, I will take this
patch through my tree. :-)

Thanks,
