I've become steadily less enthusiastic and less responsive as a maintainer over the past year or so. I no longer work on networking regularly, so it takes a lot more time to get into the right state of mind to think about ethtool code, while I have other demands on my time that tend to take priority. So, I would like to find a new maintainer to take over as soon as possible. Ideally the new maintainer would have previous contributions to ethtool and an existing account on kernel.org so that they can push to the git repository and the home page. But neither of those is essential. Please reply if you're interested.I would like to take this responsibility. My previous contributions to ethtool are meager, but I think my skills and interests are suited to the task. Plus, I already have a kernel.org account... :-)Are there any other takers? Or is this a done deal? John+1 for having John take it on :) .JohnFI'll add a +1 for John Linville to take it over as well!
I'm also perfectly fine with this. We can add John to the list of delegates in patchwork at patchwork.ozlabs.org and track ethtool patches there if we want.
