I might be interested in being U-Boot maintainer.

But I'd like to understand how close to upstream you plan to be? Will
you select a U-Boot release and stick with it for a year or more, or
will you try to target each U-Boot release (currently every two
months)?

For U-Boot specifically you could cc the U-Boot mailing list and see
if anyone else is interested there.

Simon
