[PATCH net v2 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!

v2:
 - [patch 2] add new maintainers for LAN78xx
 - [patch 3] move Andy to CREDITS
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250106165404.1832481-1-kuba@kernel.org

[PATCH net v2 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 v2 2/8] MAINTAINERS: update maintainers for Microchip LAN78xx

[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.

Move Woojung to CREDITS and add new maintainers who are more

[PATCH net v2 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..
