Well, I'm not against a company address at all, I myself am employed and use company address very often. And I really welcome some one to come up and take the responsibility of some orphaned code. But the first impression of this, to me, it's more like a Broadcom internal policy to assign someone or not (maybe some work transition of Leo Chen). And I haven't seen much contribution from JD so far, honestly, (but doesn't mean I don't believe he's going to contribute a lot). Sorry, JD, I was a bit rude on this and this is not personal at all. Nice to know you actually, bcmring was not actively maintained since last year. I hope we can know more about you. > > for instance: > $ grep M:.*support MAINTAINERS > M: ? ? ?support at lsi.com > M: ? ? ?Vincent Sanders > M: ? ? ?Vincent Sanders > M: ? ? ?Matthias Bruestle and Harald Welte > M: ? ? ?Support Department > > Some others: > M: ? ? ?STEricsson > M: ? ? ?"Digi International, Inc" > M: ? ? ?HighPoint Linux Team > M: ? ? ?Intel Linux Wireless > M: ? ? ?linux-wimax at intel.com > M: ? ? ?linux390 at de.ibm.com > M: ? ? ?linux-driver at qlogic.com > M: ? ? ?Solarflare linux maintainers > M: ? ? ?davinci-linux-open-source at linux.davincidsp.com > > Would you prefer that broadcom go the way of intel with the > ipw2x00 or just have a faceless "linux-support at broadcom.com"? > > Not me. > > Welcome JD. > > >
