Hi,
I really think that now, as the PPC4xx Linux development is picking up in
speed in the ongoing move to arch/powerpc, we need an "active" maintainer for
the 4xx Linux kernel platform. Since I haven't heard anything from Matt in a
long time, perhaps it would be better if somebody else takes care of this
matter. I propose that Josh Boyer takes over this maintainership, and I know
that he is competent enough and willing to dedicate the needed time for this
task.
What do you think? Any other ideas on this?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Stefan

You're behind the times. Paulus has already annointed Josh as 4xx
maintainer.

Excellent. That's good news.

Glad you think so. :) I asked Josh to be the 4xx maintainer a couple of
weeks ago but didn't make an announcement about it, which I should
have done - sorry about that.
Josh, please send me a patch for MAINTAINERS.
Paul.
