I've not really 'maintained' this code for years, and others
are doing a much more thorough job these days.
Removing myself might stem some of the crazier emails I get.

That previous entry of MAINTAINERS raised an eyebrow too.
You, Eric, Andi, and Zach seem to have done more work on 'i386 BOOT CODE'
in the last few months than I recall Riley doing, well.. since ages.
Not to belittle whatever work he did, but perhaps his entry belongs
more in CREDITS than MAINTAINERS. It felt a little cheeky to be
messing with someone elses entry though. Riley?
Perhaps those two entries should just be merged together to become
"i386 Architecture" too ?

Riley passed away about a month ago (traffic accident.)
Anyway I have a patch to take over maintainership of that as part of my
rewrite of said code:

That would not be a bad idea; overall, though, I think a lot more code
should be unified across the entire x86 architecture.

The news article I mentioned in my email is dated 15 December 2004.
(I don't often read the MAINTAINERS file, but happened to spot him still
listed there when I had a look recently. I was in Riley's class at
university.)
I hope this post makes it through, I'm posting via Gmane's NNTP server.

Very sad, all around :(
