I'm happy that people join rtw88 reviewers. 

Personally I prefer people give Reviewed-by tag to the patches, and
I can myself take the patches by patchwork state and send pull-request
to Johannes. 

With additional flows of patchwork and pull-request, it looks much
hard to maintain, since I don't think there will be a lot of patches of
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88/rtw8723b*.{c,h}

By the way, if you are interested in rtw88, maybe add a "R:"
entry to be a reviewer of rtw88?
