MAINTAINERS: Remove bouncing Intel media maintainers

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Remove bouncing Intel media maintainers

Posted by Dave Hansen 1 week, 5 days ago

Tianshu Qiu and Bingbu Cao are maintainers and reviewers of a bunch of
media drivers (7 and 9 respectively). Both of their emails are
bouncing.

Remove the bouncing entries and update driver status in cases where
there are no M:'s left.

Mauro, I was hoping this was the kind of thing you could take directly
since it touches so many different drivers.

I can pick at least some of these. I'll send v2.

If Intel have no/limited interest in IMX355 any more, then I'm happy
to step up as the maintainer as we have a customer looking to use it.
I was going to add that as an extra patch to v2 of my recent patchset
for it, but haven't sent it out yet.

Based on recent commits I had pinged David Heidelberg (added to cc)
and Richard Acayan too as other potential folk with an interest. David
has agreed to be a reviewer, but Richard hasn't the spare capacity at
present.

I don't mind if you add that to your V2 of this set, or I'll try and
get my v2 imx355 set out in the next week.

  Dave

The sensor is present in a Chromebook and so I think there's some interest.

I'll add us both as M: and David as R: in v2.
