Hello Mark,=0A=
=0A=
If priorities change over time and someone who had initially sufficient =0A=
time to be a kernel maintainer and later on that changes that's =0A=
something I can understand. But what I do not understand is if someone =0A=
no longer has enough time to be a kernel maintainer why he or she does =0A=
not look for help and e.g. asks someone who has the required skills and =0A=
who is interested in this kind of work to become a co-maintainer?=0A=
