But it's removing people behind their will! You really should do this case-by-case. Some of the people who left the company might still want to follow the driver or even maintain it. What you should do is also pay attention on the Supported vs. Maintained which makes a huge difference on the responsibility and financial side of the Subject. Btw, Have you consulted with your Legal department on all this? > >> -R: David Lechner > > Additionally, When David is list as reviewer in individual driver entries, I > consider as redundant part; All IIO subsystem drivers/iio* already covered by > top level entry, which includes Andy and David as reviewer. > > Summary of changes in series: > - analog domain specific entries are dropped and catch with linux@analog.com > under ADI IIO section. No, you should give a good explanation why in each case. Yes, you may combine the cases when people left the company, but you also need to - consult with your Legal - consult with those who left on what they wish None of them seems done so far. So, again BIG NAK from me on this series! Rework them and even part that drops the entries that already have the same maintainers as current ADI level ones (assuming adding Nuno in a separate prerequisite patch) is good to go. > - Non analog devices reviewers and maintainer is unchanged for each driver entry. > > Further, I also agree with adding Nuno Sá as a maintainer in the top-level > ADI IIO entry, so that all drivers are maintained via the mailing list with > his oversight. > > >> -S: Supported > >> -W: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-drivers/iio-adc/ad738x > >> -W: https://ez.analog.com/linux-software-drivers > >> -F: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/adc/adi,ad7380.yaml > >> -F: Documentation/iio/ad7380.rst > >> -F: drivers/iio/adc/ad7380.c -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
