Just because someone asks doesn't mean someone needs to be appointed.
Maybe the question that should be asked instead is whether the original
author is willing to maintain their driver.

So maybe it just doesn't need a maintainer, and maybe those the owner
of the bridge driver should be responsible for choosing the tree which
it's merged through along with updates. That's how dw-hdmi has been
managed on the whole.
It also means that the bridge driver maintainer is able to test changes
to the bridge driver, rather than having some over-arching bridge
subdirectory maintainer who doesn't have a clue whether the changes
work on the hardware.
IMHO, having bridge driver authors/maintainers look after their own
code has many advantages.
