Supporter means he gets paid to look after that subsystem so he is something other than a volunteer. from MAINTAINERS: S: Status, one of the following:    Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this.    Maintained: Someone actually looks after it.    Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do much other than throw the odd patch in. See below..    Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the role as you write your new code].    Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means it has been replaced by a better system and you should be using that.
