MAINTAINERS: remove widely sanctioned entities

[RFC PATCH] MAINTAINERS: remove widely sanctioned entities

Posted by Alex Bennée 11 months, 2 weeks ago

The following organisations appear on the US sanctions list:

  Yadro: https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/Details.aspx?id=41125
  ISPRAS: https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/Details.aspx?id=50890

As a result maintainers interacting with such entities would face
legal risk in a number of jurisdictions. To reduce the risk of
inadvertent non-compliance remove entries from these organisations
from the MAINTAINERS file.

Mark the pcf8574 system as orphaned until someone volunteers to step
up as a maintainer. Add myself as a second reviewer to record/replay
so I can help with what odd fixes I can.

I have nothing but respect for the individuals this drops from
MAINTAINERS, and am grateful for their contributions.

pcf8574 could actually be removed because it's unused in the boards we 
have; it could be added on the command line but its usefulness is 
doubtful without GPIO connections.

I'm sure everyone would rather avoid this but, given that neither person 
was particularly active, it doesn't change much to go for the safer option.
