I think one maintainer is enough and I am fine if you volunteer.

Wolfgang can create a repository for you on gitlab.denx.de.

Afterwards you can create a patch to add the information to the
MAINTAINERS file, e.g.

RNG
M:      Sughosh Ganu <sughosh.ganu at linaro.org>
S:      Maintained
T:      git https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-rng.git
F:      drivers/rng/
F:      drivers/virtio/virtio_rng.c

If you want me to review:

RNG
M:      Sughosh Ganu <sughosh.ganu at linaro.org>
R:	Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk at gmx.de>
S:      Maintained
T:      git https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-rng.git
F:      drivers/rng/
F:      drivers/virtio/virtio_rng.c

Best regards

Heinrich
