[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add myself as maintainer of fbdev

[Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz]

I would like to help with fbdev maintenance.  I can dedicate some time
for reviewing and handling patches but won't have time for much more.

The subsystem will remain in maintenance mode (no new drivers will be
added to it).

I thought usually someone takes over the maintainer role after
proving that he cares for a subsystem for a certain period of time.

I know Bartlomiej is here for a long time, but fbdev??

I know no one can replace Tomi here.

With full respect to Bartlomiej, my personal opinion -  I will prefer
to have someone as the maintainer who has worked with framebuffer
devices before.

I'm not a fbdev expert and I'm not pretending to be one.

I decided to officially handle patches for fbdev after this
subsystem has been marked as Orphan in upstream tree (nobody
has volunteered to take over from Tomi after he sent his
resignation patch to a list a week earlier).

I won't have a lot of time even for this activity so help is
very much welcomed.

Best regards,

ohhh.. right... i am seeing that thread now. Sorry for the noise.
I have two months of lkml and fbdev mails pending, will read them in
next two weeks of holidays. Only managed to see few mails that had me
in to or cc.
