Hi Kory, is there more context you could provide for this change?

For core pieces of the stack, with a long history, we tend to
designate as maintainer folks who review the changes, not just
write code. According to our development stats that doesn't
describe you, just yet:

Top reviewer score:

That said, I do feel like we're lacking maintainers for sections
of the ethtool code. Maybe we could start with adding and entry
for you for just:

> +F: net/ethtool/tsconfig.c
> +F: net/ethtool/tsinfo.c

Does that sound fair?
