[RFC] Maintainership of the EFS filesystem

Hi Christian, Al,
I recently sent a patch for the EFS filesystem [1]. While writing that
patch, which fixed code that was now incompatible with the latest GCC
(+ an undefined variable), I discovered that the EFS filesystem was
orphaned and without a maintainer. I inquired with Andrew Morton, the
person who merged my patch, about potentially taking over
maintainership for EFS. He noted that he was fine with it [2], and he
directed me to Christian regarding this possibility. As the subject
suggests, I'd like to take over maintainership of EFS, if it's fine
with you all.
