I'd like to nominate myself to continue serving on the TAB.

I have steadily contributed to the kernel for over twenty years.  I have
made contributions to memory management and currently maintain the x86
architecture.  I have already served one term on the TAB.

During my term, I'm proud of a significant new piece of documentation[1]
that guides companies on how to make the right kinds of open source
contributions.  I'm also proud that the TAB will be having an AMA
session at Linux Plumbers which will increase transparency into what
the TAB does and how it works.

During my next term, I'd especially like to focus on completing the
"maintainer helpline" to help contributors and maintainers resolve
conflicts in the most constructive way possible.  Conflict is a normal
and healthy part of our community and I want to ensure that all of our
lively, spirited discussions stay that way.
