I can add myself as maintainer of that part of EFI if you like. I will
include it in the v2 series. But it is a little fiddling because there
are shared files, so I will just add a few for now.

Perhaps you could be co-maintainer for the app, given your EFI
knowledge and that you review them? Also I expect they would still go
through your tree.
