Hi Florian,
As you seems very busy I'd like to propose the help you to handle the
fbdev subsystem to easier the rich of the fbdev patch to Linus
As I'm working on fbdev on at91 and others and already Co-Maintain the
at91 mach on ARM
And if you are not willing to continue I could take over
Best Regards,
J.

Andrew has been fallback fbdev maintainer for a while, we have the
option of formalizing that as well. Adding him on cc so he sees this.

It seems that Florian himself was missing on Cc too, probably by accident.
I would certainly welcome Jean-Christophe to step in for fbdev, since I
frequently have trivial patches for the subsystem, either from myself
or one of the subarch maintainers, and it would be helpful to get feedback
on them in order to merge them through arm-soc when they depend on other
patches we carry, or to have them picked up into a git tree.

Thanks for CC'ing me. Lately I got dropped frequently from the
mailinglist (after 1 or 2 days). Guess I should try subscribing via my
own mail server.

Yeah, it would be great if you could help, at the moment I get barely
any sleep, let alone that I could keep up with the majority of mail I
get. I'll let you decide whether you want to be sole maintainer or not.
I still have interest in the subsystem, but it looks like VIA won't
provide any information for their new VX11 chipset IGP for any open
source driver and I'm still looking for a small, quiet mobile device as
a replacement for my precious netbook that broke down last autumn to
allow me working when I'm not at home.

At this point I'd like to thank all people who have helped out so far,
especially Tomi and Andrew.
Best regards,
Florian Tobias Schandinat

I've been collecting fbdev patches for the latest merge windows, so that
Linus doesn't get tons of small separate pull requests. But I haven't
been very proactive with that, and I don't think I have time to really
maintain fbdev.
So I'd also welcome somebody stepping up and taking taking on the
maintainership of fbdev.
Tomi
Ps. I already have a few patches for 3.10 and for 3.11. I'll send them
to you.

Hi Tomi,
I really thank you for your previous efforts.
Actually, I thought that you're a good fit for fbdev.

Hi Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD,
I agree with Tomi's opinion.
If you take the maintainership of fbdev, it will be very helpful.

For any bigger subsystems, it's good practice to have two maintainers,
even if one of them does all the work. I think it makes sense to have
Jean-Christophe as the primary maintainer and owner of the git tree,
but it may also be good to have you or Tomi listed as a second maintainer
for times when Jean-Christophe isn't available.
I don't know how many patches you'd expect per release, maybe just one
person is enough after all.

I agree with Arnd
As example I'll be mostly off first week of June.
Tomi Florian what do you think
I plan to send the patch + PULL to Linus end of this week before I work-off
For the record the new git tree is here
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/plagnioj/linux-fbdev.git
Best Regrds,

Hi Arnd,
I agree with Arnd's opinion.
It looks good to have Florian or Tomi listed as a second maintainer.
