[PATCH] ARM: MAINTAINERS: TQ: Orphan TQ Systems boards

Posted by Krzysztof Kozlowski 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Emails to all TQ maintainers bounce for a month or longer, because their
systems decided to block smtp.kernel.org.  This is nothing which can be
fixed by Linux Foundation IT staff, but aggresive and irresponsible
email provider.

There were no answers from linux@ew.tq-group.com or anyone else in TQ
Systems after my inquiries about this problem, thus assume the mainline
efforts are abandoned.

Thanks for rising this up and sorry for the delay of my response.
We are still in the process of resolving the mail filter issues.

NACK for the patch though. Our mainline efforts are not abandoned and
we still support our hardware.

Best regards,
Alexander

Sure. It was enough to respond to me "we are working on it". Which also
would confirm that you actually received my email and it was not blocked
by spam (although I used Google based provider for that).

Best regards,
