Subject: [RFC PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Saying goodbye to David Brownell
Date: Sun, 05 Jun 2011 01:12:03 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110605071058.25982.76948.stgit@ponder> (raw)
We had to say goodbye when David passed away recently. David had a
huge impact on our community, both personally in the lives of the
people he worked with, and technically in the design and maintenance
of several subsystems. He is greatly missed.
He also leaves behind a number of much loved subsystems now orphaned.
This patch updates the MAINTAINERS file for the areas that David was
responsible for. While it removes Davids name from the MAINTAINERS
file, it by no mean should be seen as forgetting David's involvement
or the work he's accomplished. Indeed, his name remains prominent
in the changelog and copyright notices of many files in the kernel.
Rather, this is intended to highlight the work that David accomplished
and to ask for volunteers to pick up from where David left off.
