[PATCH 00/28] MAINTAINERS: Remove people who are no longer active

[PATCH 00/28] MAINTAINERS: Remove people who are no longer active

[Peter Maydell]

At the beginning of March I went through our MAINTAINERS file to
identify all the email addresses which hadn't been used to post to
qemu-devel in at least three years. (There were 50 of those.) I sent
all of those people a query via private email to see if they were
still interested in QEMU and still wanted to be listed in our
MAINTAINERS file. About half of them responded to me either agreeing
that they would rather be removed, or requesting that they stay
listed.

The aim of this cleanup is to give us a more accurate idea of which
parts of the project are or are not actively maintained, and to avoid
CCing people on emails they're no longer interested in receiving.

This patchset removes from MAINTAINERS those people who didn't
respond. To all of these people, I'd like to say thank you on behalf
of the project for your work on QEMU, and for helping us in reviewing
code and maintainer duties. If you wish to be re-listed in future,
we'll happily put your name back in the file.

I've done the changes with one person per commit, to make it easier
if we potentially want to revert any of them in future.

The removals here leave the following subsections in Orphan status:

- Performance Tools and Tests (scripts/performance)
- VHDX block backend
- Vhost-user block device backend server
- ACPI/HEST/GHES (hw/acpi/ghes.c)
- LoongArch64 TCG target
- PCIE DOE (hw/pci/doe.c)
- Tricore TCG target
- or1k-sim OpenRISC machine
- ARM ACPI Subsystem (hw/arm/virt-acpi-build.c)
- Intel Hexadecimal Object File Loader
- Shakti C class RISC-V SoC
- Replication block filter (block/replication.c)

If anybody cares about the above and wants to step forward
to help with maintaining them, let us know. In some cases
above we could merge into existing sections, e.g.:

* "ARM ACPI Subsystem" merged into "ACPI/SMBIOS" (it has only
  one listed file, which we already list also in ACPI/SMBIOS,
  so this amounts to "just delete the section")
* merge "ACPI/HEST/GHES" and "ACPI/HEST/GHES/ARM processor CPER" ?
  Or merge "ACPI/HEST/GHES" into "ACPI/SMBIOS" ? (the wildcarding
  in the latter means it already covers most of the same files)

thanks

FWIW Xuěruì posted a patch 4 months ago that we ignored:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/qemu-devel/patch/20251207055626.3685415-1-i.qemu@xen0n.name/

(Cc'ed the qemu@xen0n.name email hoping it triggers something)

Oops. Unfortunately the scripting I did to find people who haven't
been active will miss cases where people post to the mailing list
with a different email from the one listed in MAINTAINERS. That's
a perfectly reasonable thing to do, it just trips up my attempt
at scripting.

I'll drop this patch.

Cc'ing Tao & Gustavo who are working on Security Protocol and Data Model

Thanks Philippe. DOE is indeed relevant to SPDM and RME-DA work we have 
been looking at.

I will help review changes in this area as they come up.

Commit 4f947b10d52 ("hw/nvme: Add SPDM over DOE support"), described as:

     Setup Data Object Exchange (DOE) as an extended capability for
     the NVME controller and connect SPDM to it (CMA) to it.

introduced the docs/specs/spdm.rst file which isn't maintained:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f docs/specs/spdm.rst
get_maintainer.pl: No maintainers found, printing recent contributors.
get_maintainer.pl: Do not blindly cc: them on patches!  Use common sense.

Would it make sense to move hw/pci/pcie_doe.* to the SPDM section
instead of orphanize them?

Yeah, I think it would make sense under the SPDM section. DOE can be
used for other things, but right now SPDM seems to be the major use
case.

Would you like me to send it Peter? I can apply it after this seris if you want

Thanks; yes, I think my preference with this series is to apply it
as-is and then let people send in patches on top that take
ownership / readjust the arrangement of / etc the now-orphaned
sections.

Hi Philippe,

If useful, I would be glad to be listed as a reviewer and help review 
changes in this area going forward.

[PATCH 11/28] MAINTAINERS: Remove Bastian Koppelmann

[Peter Maydell]

Bastian Koppelmann has not posted to qemu-devel in some years and did not
respond to a query about whether they still wished to be listed in
our MAINTAINERS file.  Remove them, on the assumption that they are
no longer active in QEMU.

This makes the Tricore TCG CPUs orphan.

Dear Peter, Philippe,

I am actively working on TriCore and plan to submit a patch series
that adds TC3x (TC397B) and TC4x (TC4D7) SoC emulation along with
a MAINTAINERS entry for myself.

The series is being cleaned up for upstream submission. In the
meantime, the working tree [1] and a v1.0.0 release [2] are available.

[1]: https://github.com/linumiz/qemu-tricore/tree/release/ifx/tricore-1.0
[2]: https://github.com/linumiz/qemu-tricore/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Aleksandar is only listed as Reviewer ... so should the status rather be 
changed to "Orphan" now? Or maybe Aleksandar wants to step up as a 
maintainer for this file?

No need to orphanize, I'll maintain it with other MIPS boards.

This looks ok to me, the time I have worked on the the project I have never
heard from Jia.

I think I would like to mark myself as maintainer on this and the other OpenRISC
machines.  Should I sent a patch on top of your series after it is merged?

Yes, I think that's probably the easiest way to manage it.
I'll try to merge this series early in the 11.1 cycle.
