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... :-)

It was a tough choice, but I'm pleased to accept your offer. :-)

I'll ask for the permissions to be updated accordingly.

Ben.

Awesome, thanks.  And, of course, thank you for your service to the
community as ethtool maintainer for the past several (5+) years!

John
