[PATCH v2 0/5] Reduce load on ppc target maintainers
Posted by David Gibson 2 years, 7 months ago
Greg Kurz and myself have been co-maintainers for the ppc and ppc64
targets for some time now.  However, both our day job responsibilities
and interests are leading us towards other areas, so we have less time
to devote to this any more.

Therefore, here's a bunch of updates to MAINTAINERS, intended to
reduce the load on us.  Mostly this is marking fairly obscure
platforms as orphaned (if someone wants to take over maintainership,
let me know ASAP).  Bigger changes may be coming, but we haven't
decided exactly what that's going to look like yet.

Changes since v1:
 * Reworked how OpenPIC is listed

David Gibson (5):
  MAINTAINERS: Orphan obscure ppc platforms
  MAINTAINERS: Remove David & Greg as reviewers for a number of boards
  MAINTAINERS: Remove David & Greg as reviewers/co-maintainers of
    powernv
  MAINTAINERS: Add information for OpenPIC
  MAINTAINERS: Demote sPAPR from "Supported" to "Maintained"

So after this series we still have:

PowerPC TCG CPUs
M: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
M: Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>
L: qemu-ppc@nongnu.org
S: Maintained
F: target/ppc/
F: hw/ppc/
F: include/hw/ppc/
F: disas/ppc.c
F: tests/acceptance/machine_ppc.py

You might want to drop the *hw/ppc* lines which should
be covered elsewhere now.

tests/acceptance/machine_ppc.py should be split in multiple
files to ease the tests maintainance.

Thanks for staying PPC/TCG maintainers :)

Regards,

Phil.

Good idea, I'll revise that.

Also a good idea.

Uhhh... we're not.  I just haven't tackled that side of things yet to
reduce the number of spinning plates.
