From: Randy Dunlap <redacted> 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. :) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <redacted> --- MAINTAINERS | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-)--- linux-2.6.20-git9.orig/MAINTAINERS +++ linux-2.6.20-git9/MAINTAINERS@@ -1321,11 +1321,9 @@ W: http://www.farsite.co.uk/ S: Supported FRAMEBUFFER LAYER -P: Antonino Daplas -M: adaplas@pol.net L: linux-fbdev-devel@lists.sourceforge.net (subscribers-only) W: http://linux-fbdev.sourceforge.net/ -S: Maintained +S: Orphan
No, James is keeping an eye on things, but he obviously doesn't have as much time to work on it as Tony did. My point was that for bugs such as the one Pavel identified we're no longer able to palm it off on the maintainer and expect magic to happen. Either we all dig in and help out or things don't get fixed.
