I completely agree with Adrian, you are doing a very good job in keeping 
the quality of CRIU high, your work is a cornerstone that enables many 
of the features supported today, and your comments in code reviews are 
invaluable.

It makes sense for a pull request to be approved by two maintainers and 
for all comments to have been resolved before it can be merged. I also 
think the role of the chief maintainer is very important, especially for 
large decisions and architecture changes.
