An additional question related to this SoC and new
mainboards:
Should maintainer of Braswell SoC also take care of review/merge new
mainboards based on this chipset?
Who should merge new boards?
(I have uploaded code for two mainboards based on this SoC, where 1
is waiting 3 months to be merged?)

Everybody should review (new mainboards), not only the platform
maintainers.
As boards consists of multiple parts: EC, SuperIO, Audio, Ethernet,
DRAM, GPIOs, ... you can only review the part you are an expert in.
Of course everybody is short on time and as most boards do not have a
good documentation (from firmware developer perspective) or schematics
publicly available, it makes reviewing hard and time consuming.
I don't have a good solution for that, except request reviews in
regular intervals.

I would like to submit my candidacy for Braswell

maintainership
along with Piotr Król. Since we have 3 Braswell SoC platforms on
hand,
we are willing to test any incoming patches to Braswell SoC code
base.
We would be glad to become the maintainers. Would like to hear
Your
opinions, dear coreboot developers/maintainers, what do You think
about the change?
Hi Michal,
I'm glad to see that you want to maintain an additional platform.
I recommend to email all maintainers, that are not known to be
active, as part of the half year release process. If you don't get a
response or a bounce message the platform should be marked as
unmaintained.
What do you think about adding a "supporters section" to the start
page of
https://coreboot.org/ to ackknowledge companies that really
maintain coreboot code.
