Could be, I really don't know. I don't remember seeing Atmel ARM patches 
posted or reviewed by other Atmel than yourself.

So for the time being, we gladly accept that Jean-Christophe volunteered to 
take over this custodianship. From my point of view, he is doing a very good 
job with his other U-Boot activities. So I expect that the AT91 support could 
be handled better from now on.

But again, we are open for other suggestions here too. If you think someone at 
Atmel is better suited to do this job, then please let us know.

BTW: If somebody else feels suited to take over some open custodianships (PCI, 
RTC, HWMON come to my mind right now), please let us know too. :)

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
