Hi Michael,

I'm in the exact same situation as Ard. My timezone + my lack of
availability (I do this as one of my hobbies, and not as a job) make it
very hard to attend meetings,
although I really don't mind discussing these issues on the mailing list.

I do have something to say about point 2) though. My package (Ext4Pkg) only
has a single maintainer (myself) and it's really bothersome to try and
merge my own patches as I need to bother
the EDK2 platforms stewards every time I want to do so. If someone could
step up to be a co-maintainer and help review my own patches from time to
time, it would be really great.

Best regards,
Pedro
