Uhm, I think your script is broken, as I've patched typhoon this year. I've also ACKed a few patches that have been sent to me, and tried to watch the list for patches that weren't. > Should these individuals be removed from MAINTAINERS > and added to CREDITS if not already there? I think you should try to contact the ones listed and see if they are still actively watching for their drivers. I've not had to do a lot to typhoon, as there is no new hardware coming out, and while I've sent in several Acked-by's, not all of them have made it to the final commit. Just because there are few patches from the person listed as maintainer does not mean they are not keeping an eye on things. > ------> drivers/net/typhoon.c > David Dillow (maintainer) > > 3CR990 NETWORK DRIVER > M: David Dillow > L: netdev@vger.kernel.org > S: Maintained > F: drivers/net/typhoon*
