I need an ack from the person that is being removed here, for obvious
reasons. Any specific reason you didn't cc: them on this patch?
thanks,

Rajesh is no longer with VMware and won't be working on VMCI.

He is aware of this change, but we missed sending this patch before his
last day. So, his email ID is inactive now. Hence, it was omitted.
Please let me know if there's anything I can do.

But employment does not matter for maintainership and has nothing to do
with it. Maintainership follows the person, not the company, you all
know this.
So for obvious reasons, I can't take this type of change without Rajesh
acking it.

If being an employee of a company is a criteria for maintainership
of this subsystem, likely the subsystem entry should be:
"S: Supported" not "S: Maintained"
MAINTAINERS:VMWARE VMCI DRIVER
MAINTAINERS-M: Bryan Tan <[email protected]>

MAINTAINERS-M: Vishnu Dasa <[email protected]>
MAINTAINERS-R: VMware PV-Drivers Reviewers <[email protected]>
MAINTAINERS-L: [email protected]
MAINTAINERS-S: Maintained
Likely that's true for every VMware entry.

I understand. After getting in touch with Rajesh, cc'ing him via his personal
email ID.
Rajesh, could you please provide your ack if you agree with this patch to
remove you as the maintainer for VMCI?
Thanks,
Vishnu
