Abstain... Or rather: No (a weak no).

Yes (more area maintainers can not be a bad thing, can it?)

Yes.
As an aside, I am only interested in the part of this proposal that
allows the maintainers to approve patches. I'm not sure it's that
important or even productive to trigger some automatic alarms should a
patch not be reviewed. I would expect friendly reminders from the patch
authors to be sufficient.

No. I would give that responsibility to the SC.

Yes.
