[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Remove stale contact info for Stefan Berger

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Remove stale contact info for Stefan Berger

[John Snow]

I was unable to get in touch with Stefan and I am not currently sure
if this module is maintained or not. To prevent an avalanche of
bounced emails, remove his contact information.

Really? There must be something wrong. He is a very responsive and active
maintainer.

All of the emails I have are bouncing; I hope they turn up! I would
love to be proven hasty.

When I replied to John's docs series last week it triggered a
blizzard of non-delivery emails for Stefan's address:

  Attempting to deliver following mail to recipient(s):
    <stefanb@linux.ibm.com>
  VMSDVM9.POK.IBM.COM unable to connect for 1 days to recipient host.
  Delivery will be attempted for a total of 3 days.

but I never got any more of those after that, and the 3 days passed,
so I'm thinking they did indeed get delivered in the end.

With regards,
Daniel

I got several "552 Over quota" bounces in the past few days.

Right. I was trying to get Thunderbird to use my retention policy for 
holding a certain number of emails per mailing list. No luck. It went 
back to what *it* wanted and I went away for a few days and ran over 
quota. Problem solved by unsubscribing.

Sorry for the false alarm, then! Glad to see you well!

There was a problem with my email account but only over the last few 
days. The problem should be resolved now.
