I am building a list of addresses from the MAINTAINERS list. For those boards which have no maintainer I will use the e-mail address of the last committer to the config header file (skipping Wolfgang's, of course). I will then send a single mail to myself with everybody in Bcc:, telling them that they are e-mailed as the maintainer or last committer to an u-boot board, informing them of the recent introduction of ELF relocation to u-boot, that it breaks building the board, and that they should take steps to fix the board (these steps may be as simple as adding a couple of lines similar to what was done with edminiv2.h) otherwise the board will be considered orphan and risk being removed. Amicalement, -- Albert.
