[U-Boot] USB custodianship

Dear List,
I've been maintaining the USB Layer in "bugfix mode" for some time now, but this piece of code really needs much more attention. There are definitely some brownie points to earn here: cleanup, increase of robustness, EHCI,... Unfortunately attention takes time, and I don't have much of that these days.
I would therefore like to propse Remy Bohmer as a new USB custodian. Remy has done an excellent job in fixing bugs, doing cleanup and working with others to achieve this. I believe he is the right person for this job and will be able to work more effectively without suffering from my latencies.
What does the community think?
Best regards Markus Klotzbuecher

I know this all too good myself as well. :)

I would welcome such a change. Markus, thanks for the time you put into this so far. And welcome to Remy in the custodian team.
Best regards, Stefan

The most important questions is of course: what does Remy think?
Remy, is this OK with you?

Hello Wolfgang,
What does the community think?
The most important questions is of course: what does Remy think? Remy, is this OK with you?
Yes, of course :-)
For me this custiodianship is new and looks interesting, and I have enough time to do this. I also have some more (USB) ideas here that I had planned to do, so I will keep on working on it for quite some time from here. Markus polled my interest before proposing this message to the community. So, I was not surprised by this and I was also waiting for reactions from the community.
Kind Regards,
Remy
Best regards,
