   There is no maintainer for MPC83xx AFAIK at this time (Kim is no
longer with FSL). I have a set of mpc83xx boards that I could test
out new patches for. I am cc'ing to Stefan as we discussed something
similar briefly sometimes ago.

Yes. And I think we can now safely assume, that Kim will not
continue to maintain the MPC83xx boards. As we've not heard
from him for quite a while and he's not working for FSL
any more.

IIRC, then you Sinan volunteered to take over this custodianship?
Is this still the case? I'm adding Tom to Cc, so that we can
discuss and perhaps decide this custodianship takeover on the
list.

Thanks,
Stefan

   I actually rather volunteered to help out with testing as I seemed
to have access to a good collection of mpx83xxx based reference boards.
I only took maintainership of mpc837xerdb recently after we moved with
generic board support.

   I feel there might be some others with higher level of contributions
and related experience and might be interested in the custodianship.
I am cc'ing to Dirk as well as I know he had worked on mpc83xx code
quite a bit. Let's see if there is any other volunteers first.
