Subject: [PATCH 1/2] MAINTAINERS: remove historic section DEVICE NUMBER REGISTRY
Date: Tue,  7 Mar 2023 15:39:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230307144000.29539-2-lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230307144000.29539-1-lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com>

As described in Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst, the device number
registry (or linux device list) is at Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt
and no longer maintained at lanana.org.

The devices.txt file is basically community-maintained, and there is no
other dedicated maintainer or contact for that file nowadays.

Remove the historic section DEVICE NUMBER REGISTRY in MAINTAINERS.

Signed-off-by: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com>

Note: According to the get_maintainer script, Jonathan Corbet would be the
maintainer of those files, but probably everyone knows that the formal
role is really among various kernel developers, and not with Jon as
a benevolent dictator.

Jon, if that is fine for you, we just keep that with MAINTAINERS as-is.
Otherwise, I can send a specific change to exclude those two files,
Documentation/admin-guide/devices.{rst|txt} from the DOCUMENTATION
section in MAINTAINERS, but I do not see that critical, as only very little
changes happen to those files nowadays.
