It might also be a good time to drop the staging part of it, which
has been sitting there without progress for years.

If so, then that means this list needs to be dropped and the entry
changed to orphaned :(

Sorry, you're right: the "S:" line of the entry must be changed to
"S: Orphan".

However,I'm not sure why you also want to drop the "L:" line. I see
that many "orphaned" entries have their "L:" line still there.

A couple of examples:

CONEXANT ACCESSRUNNER USB DRIVER
L: [email protected]
S: Orphan
W: http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/
F: drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c

DENALI NAND DRIVER
L: [email protected]
S: Orphan
F: drivers/mtd/nand/raw/denali*

I'll send a v2 patch. Can you please confirm that you want me to drop
also the "L:" line?

Thanks,

Fabio M. De Francesco

I agree.
