If the address Vikram Garhwal <vikram.garhwal@amd.com> is not valid
then if he has still interest in CAN in QEMU it would be great
if he updates the address in the QEMU MAINTAINERS file. If he does
not plan to participate then the MAINTAINERS file should be updated
as well.

Vikram Garhwal is listed even as whole CAN subsystem comaintainer

  https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/3472f54522a928f0020d6928d54c007f862c5478/MAINTAINERS#L2690

I plan take an eye on the system long term and I have
ideas and plans how to enhance it in more directions when
I find some spare time or project, studnets, thesis,
company interested in adding another controller etc.

But I would be more comfortable if there is somebody else
who is willing to be at least my backup when I am on some
trip without Internet (hiking etc.). I am quite loaded by
teaching etc. and all these my CAN and in the fact all my
open-source and other development projects are mostly out
of any interrest of the university department where I serve.
They would care a little if/when I bring paid contract from
some company, as we have from Volkswagen and its subsidiaries.
But it is long time ago at university and even longer
at my company.

So all depends on my enthusiasm and free time which
should have at least some maintainership backup by somebody
who intend to use the project in frame of company or some
automotive consortium. I know that there are big money flowing
on base of these activities.

Best wishes,
