To make scripts/get_maintainer.pl output something sensible.

I guess it's orphaned, just like HFS?

Actually I think Christoph keeps an eye on hfsplus?

Thanks, good to hear that!

>From the top of MAINTAINERS:

        S: Status, one of the following:
           Supported:   Someone is actually paid to look after this.
           Maintained:  Someone actually looks after it.
           Odd Fixes:   It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do
                        much other than throw the odd patch in. See below..
           Orphan:      No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
                        role as you write your new code].
           Obsolete:    Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means
                        it has been replaced by a better system and you
                        should be using that.

Hence Orphan doesn't mean there are no active users, only that there's no active
maintainter listed.

If you want to become the maintainer for hfs+, I'm happy to send a v2
of the patch,
adding you as the maintainer, with status Supported/Maintained/Odd Fixes.

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

What do you means by orphaned? If you means absence of implementation or bug fix
then I disagree completely. Because I am making some implementation activity for
HFS+. If you are talking about absence of using HFS+ by ordinary users then I disagree again.
Because, as far as I can see, there are many Apple devices that it has HFS+ file system
then it makes sense to have actual support for HFS+ file system under Linux.

With the best regards,
Vyacheslav Dubeyko.

Yes, I think that I am ready to play the role of maintainer for HFS+ file system driver.
Because I have plans of new feature implementation in HFS+ driver and also
I am implementing continuously new features in HFS+ driver in the background of
my main activity. Also I participate in reviewing of new HFS+ related patches.
So, it is possible to say that I am actively looking after the HFS+ file system driver.

Thanks,
Vyacheslav Dubeyko.
