You may as well change the S: to unmaintained whilst
you're there, it hasn't seen any updates in a long time,
and still uses several out-of-date SCSI APIs.

Or he could completely remove the entry.

We don't have entries for every single unmaintained driver, and the 
smaller MAINTAINERS is the higher is the possibility of not missing a 
relevant entry when checking whom to send an email.

Hmm, so if a subsystem or driver (more drivers, I should think) lacks
an entry in MAINTAINERS, is it then reasonable to assume that it is
unmaintained? If not, perhaps creating a separate list of unmaintained
subsystems and/or drivers is prudent?

For unmaintained drivers or drivers maintained by the subsystem 
maintainers (which can be the reason why there's no entry for this 
driver) contact the subsystem maintainer.

Unmaintained subsystems are a problem.

I've already started contacting subsystem maintainers that seem to be 
inactive, and I have some restructuring of MAINTAINERS (tree structure 
with drivers behind subsystems) on my TODO list.
