UBI does not do anything about storing the bad block table. UBI relies
on the MTD layer - it may mark a block as bad and MTD should take care
of storing this information either in the OOB or in the BBT on in both
places.

How do you store the information about the later developed bad blocks?

There is no DoC maintainer, you can consider yourself to be the
maintainer, because you and Mike are the only people who care about this
AFAICS.
