[PATCH v3] MAINTAINERS: Drop Mark Gross

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Sending mail to Mark's Intel address results in the intel mail
server rejecting the mail. Dave Hansen confirmed he left Intel.
The kernel.org address seems to work, but there was no reply from Mark
on the discussion about broken email settings and his maintainer
entries.

So drop him from all maintainer entries.

Hello,

this patch was already send end of May (v1 @
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260526173806.3227828-2-ukleinek@kernel.org).
Konstantin then suggested to change the maintainer contacts to the
kernel.org address as at least one of the forward-addresses for the
kernel.org account didn't bounce. This v2
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260526193238.3622176-2-ukleinek@kernel.org)
wasn't picked up yet, but given the continued silence I think removing
Mark completely is the saner choice now.

If someone has a better contact, please make him react. If he returns
later, the entries can easily get restored.

Best regards
Uwe

These seem good grounds for altering MAINTAINERS.  It happens.


But

hp2:/usr/src/25> egrep "(Author|Acked|Reviewed).*Mark Gross" ../gitlog|wc -l
52

all gone poof?

Please send a v2 with the subject

	MAINTAINERS: move Mark Gross to CREDITS

Thanks.
