I'd like to see more justification for this platform (see my questions
under 0/6), and once those are provided, I would like the maintainership
of this new platform to be captured formally in Maintainers.txt.

(There is a community topic at
<https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Community-Virtual-Meetings>
about this in general, "Adding more detail to Maintainers.txt". The idea
is to adopt the pathname/pattern-based maintainer association from other
projects, like Linux and QEMU.)

Thanks
