[PATCH net 0/8] MAINTAINERS: spring 2025 cleanup of networking maintainers

[PATCH net 0/8] MAINTAINERS: spring 2025 cleanup of networking maintainers

[Jakub Kicinski]

Annual cleanup of inactive maintainers. To identify inactive maintainers
we use Jon Corbet's maintainer analysis script from gitdm, and some manual
scanning of lore.

Please feel free to comment if you either disagree with the removal
or think it should be done differently!

[PATCH net 1/8] MAINTAINERS: mark Synopsys DW XPCS as Orphan

[Jakub Kicinski]

There's not much review support from Jose, there is a sharp
drop in his participation around 4 years ago.
The DW XPCS IP is very popular and the driver requires active
maintenance.

[PATCH net 2/8] MAINTAINERS: mark Microchip LAN78xx as Orphan

[Jakub Kicinski]

Woojung Huh seems to have only replied to the list 35 times
in the last 5 years, and didn't provide any reviews in 3 years.
The LAN78XX driver has seen quite a bit of activity lately.

RE: [PATCH net 2/8] MAINTAINERS: mark Microchip LAN78xx as Orphan

[Woojung.Huh]

HI Jakub,

I have no complaint about removing my name from the maintainer. :)

One question is replacing to another person in Microchip.
Let this patch go through and create a new patch to add maintainers?

Surely, they should involve more on patches and earn credits, but
Thangaraj Samynathan <Thangaraj.S@microchip.com> and 
Rengarajan S <Rengarajan.S@microchip.com> are going to take care LAN78xx
from Microchip.

Best regards,
Woojung

I think Andy should be moved to CREDITS, he has been a bonding
maintainer for a very long time and has contributed to it a lot.

This is totally fair as I do not make the time to review bonding patches
any longer.  I do appreciate being moved to CREDITS and not being wiped
out completely.  Thanks Jay and Nik for looking out for me.

[PATCH net 4/8] MAINTAINERS: mark stmmac ethernet as an Orphan

[Jakub Kicinski]

I tried a couple of things to reinvigorate the stmmac maintainers
over the last few years but with little effect. The maintainers
are not active, let the MAINTAINERS file reflect reality.
The Synopsys IP this driver supports is very popular we need
a solid maintainer to deal with the complexity of the driver.

We could add an entry to AUTHORS, but a quick git log doesn't show
huge number of patches or LoC. I could be looking wrong..

[PATCH net 8/8] MAINTAINERS: remove Lars Povlsen from Microchip Sparx5 SoC

[Jakub Kicinski]

We have not seen emails or tags from Lars in almost 4 years.
Steen and Daniel are pretty active, but the review coverage
isn't stellar (35% of changes go in without a review tag).
