MAINTAINERS update.

MAINTAINERS update.

[Dave Jones]

I've not really 'maintained' this code for years, and others
are doing a much more thorough job these days.
Removing myself might stem some of the crazier emails I get.

To the extent needed...

That previous entry of MAINTAINERS raised an eyebrow too.
You, Eric, Andi, and Zach seem to have done more work on 'i386 BOOT CODE'
in the last few months than I recall Riley doing, well.. since ages.
Not to belittle whatever work he did, but perhaps his entry belongs
more in CREDITS than MAINTAINERS.  It felt a little cheeky to be
messing with someone elses entry though.  Riley?

Perhaps those two entries should just be merged together to become
"i386 Architecture" too ?

Riley passed away about a month ago (traffic accident.)

Anyway I have a patch to take over maintainership of that as part of my
rewrite of said code:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/hpa/linux-2.6-newsetup.git;a=summary

That would not be a bad idea; overall, though, I think a lot more code
should be unified across the entire x86 architecture.

The news article I mentioned in my email is dated 15 December 2004.

(I don't often read the MAINTAINERS file, but happened to spot him still 
listed there when I had a look recently.  I was in Riley's class at 
university.)

I hope this post makes it through, I'm posting via Gmane's NNTP server.

Oh dear.  News travels slowly sometimes :(

Very sad, all around :(
