TBH. I think it is not a bad option. I do normally have backup person
for all repos I do maintain. It doesn't mean that second maintainer does
something but it has all accesses to repos you maintain.
It means if something really happens to you (hopefully not) than this
person can continue in this work without any delay which is not a bad
thing.
It is really just about talking to each other what that second person
will do - probably just review patches as is done now. You can also
learn from each other.
I would like to be involved more in this but unfortunately I don't have
enough time to do it properly.

Regarding maintaining this repo. It is just standard process. Apply
sensible things, well described and test it. And then send pull request
to Greg based on signed tags and you are done.
Greg should told you what should be the base which you should use for
pull request. Someone is taking patches based on rc1 tag, someone is
rebasing it on the final tag.
