[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: update usnic maintainer list
Posted by Satish Kharat via B4 Relay 1 month, 1 week ago
From: Satish Kharat <satishkh@cisco.com>

Remove Christian Benvenuti from the usnic maintainer list because he is no
longer working on the driver and the email address is no longer valid.
Add Satish Kharat and Norman Anderson as maintainers.

Please read:
https://docs.kernel.org/maintainer/feature-and-driver-maintainers.html

Specifically:

   The following characteristics of a person selected as a maintainer
   are clear red flags:
      - unknown to the community, never sent an email to the list before

The mailing list archives show zero hits for Norman Andreson.
R: / reviewer would be more acceptable if you must add them.
