About 1 year ago I was asked by Arnd Bergmann if I would like to become
the maintainer for the X.25 stack:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/patch/20191209151256.2497534-4-arnd@arndb.de/#2320767

Yes, I would agree to be listed as a maintainer.

But I still think it is important that we either repair or delete the
linux-x25 mailing list. The current state that the messages are going
into nirvana is very unpleasant.
