I wouldn't say it orphan. I just can't spend 8 hours a day on it. 
Alot of patches have been flowing into the layer.

So would you like to leave it as Maintained or change it to
"Odd Fixes"?  (Maintained => a maintainer)  From the MAINTAINTERS file:

	Supported:	Someone is actually paid to look after this.
	Maintained:	Someone actually looks after it.
	Odd Fixes:	It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do
			much other than throw the odd patch in. See below..
	Orphan:		No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
			role as you write your new code].
	Obsolete:	Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means
			it has been replaced by a better system and you
			should be using that.

Are we ready to do this?
I'd love for Tony to return, but he's been missing for awhile now.

So this give us the following major areas that are marked as Orphan:

Firmware loader
Framebuffer
Serial (8250/16x50)

and PCMCIA has a Team.  It doesn't seem to be hurting.  :)
