I have no information on what Mattias is doing, but I see that he has not merged any patches since June, and that he never sent a pull request for your patches that are still in his for-next branch. I hope he's going to be ok, but let's plan for you to take over for the moment, at least until Matthias is again able to keep maintaining the platform in the near future. Here is my suggestion for how to continue from here: - Please send your MAINTAINERS file update to soc@kernel.org along with any urgent bugfixes you may have, so I can forward them for 6.7. I'm wrapping up the current set of fixes at the moment, so this would be for next week's rc - Create a git tree with the ususal branches (drivers, soc, dt, fixes, for-next) and ask Stephen Rothwell (on Cc) to add the combined for-next branch to linux-next for integration testing - Start each branch on 6.6-rc2 (usually we use rc1, but this time rc2 is a better candidate because of the last-minute drivers/pmdomain rename), and merge the corresponding branches from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/matthias.bgg/linux.git into those to avoids conflicts with his tree - Add any further patches you want in 6.7 on top - Send a first set of pull requests to soc@kernel.org for whatever you have merged as soon as you are confident about them, ideally by the end of next week. - Send additional pull requests for fixups or late features in the weeks after that as you see fit. See Documentation/process/maintainer-soc.rst for more details on the above. When Mattias comes back, you can work out a new process together with him. Arnd
