MAINTAINERS:85:    Orphan:      No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
MAINTAINERS-86-                 role as you write your new code].

Parport is an orphan, hasn't had a maintainer since at
least 2.6.12, and has almost no activity minus drive-by
cleanups and new device ID support every once in awhile.

Sudip is writing new code.

If Sudip wants to be a maintainer of parport, assuming
he has the time and resources to give it a go, I think
he should be welcomed to it.

Thanks Sudip.  Best of luck...

Parport is an orphan, hasn't had a maintainer since at
least 2.6.12, and has almost no activity minus drive-by
cleanups and new device ID support every once in awhile.

Sudip is writing new code.

Thanks Sudip.  Best of luck...
