It is the steering committee that appoints maintainers and so somebody needs to suggest this to the steering committee, which Jim Wilson is a member of. Jim is a global reviewer, so even without being riscv port maintainer he can review riscv patches other people wrote, just not his own. So, I think for the time being you should just update your mail in MAINTAINERS and let the SC decide on further maintainers. Jakub
