Re: [RFC] List of maintainers (draft #2)

[Maksim Krasnyanskiy <maxk@qualcomm.com>]

Hi Denis,

I though I asked you to include me on that list.
Anyway here it is again.

Maksim Krasnyanskiy <maxk@qualcomm.com)
         Universal TUN/TAP driver author / maintainer
         Bluetooth subsytem (BlueZ) author / maintainer

Thanks
Max
