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. > Dave cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"

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? Kurt -- Don't get even -- get odd! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

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. > Kurt cu Adrian BTW: Please don't remove people from the Cc when answering. -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
