[PATCH v3 0/7] 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 v2:
 * Clarified overly broad TCG CPUs entry
Changes since v1:
 * Reworked how OpenPIC is listed

David Gibson (7):
  qemu: Split machine_ppc.py acceptance tests
  MAINTAINERS: Remove machine specific files from ppc TCG CPUs entry
  MAINTAINERS: Remove David & Greg as reviewers for a number of boards
  MAINTAINERS: Orphan obscure ppc platforms
  MAINTAINERS: Remove David & Greg as reviewers/co-maintainers of
    powernv
  MAINTAINERS: Add information for OpenPIC
  MAINTAINERS: Demote sPAPR from "Supported" to "Maintained"

Thanks for the feedback and acks on this.  I'm now merging v3 into
ppc-for-6.2 to go into a pull request shortly.

I have a bunch of small patches for SLOF - what do I do with those now?
Still send pull requests to you and Greg as usual? Thanks,

We've downgraded sPAPR from "Supported" to "Maintained", which means
that we're no longer paid to do it (i.e. likely less responsive than
before) but we're still in charge of SLOF in QEMU.

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f pc-bios/slof.bin
David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (maintainer:sPAPR)
Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org> (maintainer:sPAPR)
qemu-ppc@nongnu.org (open list:sPAPR)
qemu-devel@nongnu.org (open list:All patches CC here)

As usual then :-)
