Hi Neil,

Thank you for your work and time spent on maintaining MD/mdadm. I would also
like to offer help for the emerging maintainership team. I've been
working with
MD RAID for more than 4 years, mostly testing and developing the IMSM-related
parts on behalf of my employer - Intel. I realize that I was not very visible
on this mailing list, but I think I have a pretty good knowledge about mdadm
and the MD drivers. Now I have Intel's approval to take on maintaining MD RAID
as part of my job, not focusing primarily on IMSM. I definitely feel more
confident with maintaining mdadm, but I would certainly like to learn more
about the kernel MD stack and help with it as much as I can.

Hi Arthur,
 thanks for all your IMSM work over the years!  It is great that you can
 continue contributing and do so more broadly.

 For the moment Jes Serensen will be co-ordinating mdadm (once I make a
 release ... tomorrow?) and Shaohua Li will be looking after the
 kernel/md side.  I'm sure there is plenty of room for you too though.
 Only one person (at a time) can queue patches, but several can
 collaborate at development and support and bug fixing and testing and
 ....
 I suggest you find ways to co-ordinate with them.

 This:
     https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108741
 is currently most important in my mind, but there are other things to
 do.

Hi Arthur,

I have setup a git repository for mdadm here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git

I'll be relying heavily on your contributions in managing this now that
Neil is leaving it to us. I'll do my best to maintain it in a similar
manner to Neil, albeit I am probably going to screw up a lot more often.

Please fire away those patches and do not be afraid to yell at me if I
get something wrong!

Cheers,
Jes
