AFAICT the last gvt-next pull request was more than two years ago and
gvt-fixes slightly less than one year ago.

There's a single cleanup commit in gvt-next applied two years ago for
which there hasn't been a pull request.

The GVT github page [1] says, "This repository has been archived by the
owner on Oct 3, 2024. It is now read-only." The intel-gvt-dev mailing
list [2] appears to be mostly spam.

Seems to me something like this would be appropriate:

But I don't think it would be far from the truth to have "S: Odd Fixes"
either. And the extreme would be to just remove the whole maintainers
entry and have it fall back to the i915 entry.

Thoughts?

Jani.
