Yes, that was my thinking, though I'd prefer to see somebodyto be acting as a central point of contact so that I do not have to pay any attention to the part of the system other than responding to a pull request. The subsystem maintainer does not have to forever be Pat, of course, and can be handed over to somebody else, but if that is what is going to happen, I'd prefer to see a volunteer or two to step up and Pat to bless them.
