ACK on adding Kalle.

I'm happy to finally see someone else interested in BIP maintainer role, fo=
r years no one really seemed to care about doing this mostly procedural/bur=
eaucratic function, which is (part of) the reason Luke-Jr ended up as the o=
nly BIP maintainer for such a long time.

And I disagree that a bot could do this just as well. Auto-merging would op=
en it up to all kinds of DoS attacks, vandalism, and low-effort scams that =
a person can easily ward against.
