Message-ID: <20250912042252.19901-1-bagasdotme@gmail.com> (raw)
ARCnet docs states that inquiries on the subsystem should be emailed to
Avery Pennarun <apenwarr@worldvisions.ca>, for whom has been in CREDITS
since the beginning of kernel git history and the subsystem is now
maintained by Michael Grzeschik since c38f6ac74c9980 ("MAINTAINERS: add
arcnet and take maintainership"). In addition, there used to be a
dedicated ARCnet mailing list but its archive at epistolary.org has been
shut down. ARCnet discussion nowadays take place in netdev list.
