Drivers or arches without specific people to maintain
them really should not have "S: Supported".
These should really be "S: Orphan".

all the drivers are still maintained.  use the L: option to find the 
maintainer.

I believe I know how the MAINTAINERS
entries work.

>From MAINTAINERS:
	M: Mail patches to: FullName <address@domain>
	L: Mailing list that is relevant to this area

Mailing lists aren't maintainers.

Maybe Analog Devices should create
an email address alias like
linux-devel@analog.com

btw, from blackfin.uclinux.org:

-----------------------
We are moving the open source help forums for u-boot, GNU Toolchain and
Linux for Blackfin to the Analog Devices' EngineerZone since Oct.24,
2011.

These old forums will turn to readonly after Nov.1st, 2011.  Please only
ask new questions in the new Engineer Zone communities after the
launching.
---------------------

So maybe the support links should be:
http://ez.analog.com/community/dsp/open-source/linux-blackfin

they contain all the maintainers

so we should duplicate the ml into an alias to keep MAINTAINERS happy ?  makes 
no sense.  use the ml.

no.  the ml/trackers/source/etc... are still on blackfin.u.o.  only the forums 
have moved, and generally the people sending patches aren't using those.

That's akin to lkml as the kernel maintainer.

When there is a company but not individuals responsible for
an arch or drivers, then yes.

You mean the list that bounces my email?

That's suboptimal.

and that company already has a documented contact point.  have you found a 
time when a Blackfin question posted to the list wasn't answered ?  i doubt it.

your e-mail isn't bouncing.  i specifically configured things to silently 
moderate/accept e-mail from people.
	http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.hardware.blackfin.kernel.devel/6125
(i'd show you this thread, but gmane has a bug when multiple lists are listed 
and things only get archived under one -- lkml in this case)

and i just checked the configuration.  your e-mail is explicitly listed under 
the accept_these_nonmembers field.

and i received your original replies via the blackfin ml.  i'm not subscribed 
to lkml, so there's no other way i could have seen your posts.

The former maintainers quit ADI Linux team. Although no dedicated person is assigned this role, these drivers are still supported by the team under mailing list uclinux-dist-devel@blackfin.uclinux.org.
