Do you think about maintaining your own tree and sending PRs to me?
I'm wondering if - given the little volume of changes to gpio-regmap -
this wouldn't be unnecessary churn? I normally wait for you to Ack any
changes to gpio-regmap code and drivers based on it anyway. Otherwise
if it's just the formal role of the maintainer you're suggesting, then
sure, I'm all for it.
