The W: link is dead. 

Given wimax never really took off, is there any point in keeping this in the kernel at all ?
We turned off the drivers in Fedora a while ago, and just threw out the userspace parts.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn of other distributions doing the same.

Inaky?
Are you doing any work on this at all?
Should this be deleted?

I do minimal maintenance, which in the last two years has been close to zero.

I do get, however, occasional support requests (serviced as time permits) from 
South America and Russia, which makes me think they use it. How much, I don't
know.

Unless it is a pain, I'd keep it there

I think you should take the initial MAINTAINERS patch
that marks the mailing lists as subscribers-only.

I don't subscribe and got useless bounces.

ACK--do I need to  do it and can the patch go straight to the tree?

That URL doesn't work. There's no address associated with the domain.

That's material for another patch.
Fortunately we're not pasting the URLs from get_maintainer.pl into
git send-email.

The archive of the mailing list looks as if it's been
dead for years.

https://lists.linuxwimax.org/pipermail/wimax/

Inaky, is this still alive at all?

If not, I suggest orphaning both WIMAX STACK and the
INTEL WIRELESS WIMAX sections and removing Inaky
as maintainer.

Re: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: wimax@linuxwimax.org is subscribers-only

[Perez-Gonzalez, Inaky]

(Sorry for the formatting, iPhone email)

The mailing list is alive (judging for all the spam bounces I get) but valid traffic has been pretty much nothing for a long time. 

Patches have trickled through for the last years with me maybe once having to ack. 

So I'm ok with either.
