Subject: [PATCH] net: tulip: update MAINTAINER status to Orphan

From: Grant Grundler <[email protected]>

I haven't had any PCI tulip HW for the past ~5 years. I have
been reviewing tulip patches and can continue doing that.

Signed-off-by: Grant Grundler <[email protected]>

I'm also proposing to add linux-parisc to the list since AFAIK, all
parisc systems but the C8000 workstations (PA8800/PA8900 CPU)
use tulip for onboard LAN.

Specific mips and alpha systems also care about tulip driver too.
But I don't know either well enough to suggest respective mailing
lists should see every tulip patch.

For MIPS, is not Cobalt the primary (and sole) user? You could add
[email protected] if that helps. My Cobalt stayed behind me when
I moved to the US, so outside of Yoichi, I am not sure who else cares
these days...

Once upon a time a Mips based router was using tulip as well. I know
they needed to "borrow" some tulip patches that were only in
parisc-linux source tree (for reasons I don't see a need to repeat
here).

I wanted to let the mips folks decide if they should be listed....and
CC'd Helga (parisc maintainer) in case he objected to added
linux-parisc mailing list.

cheers,

Yes, adding the linux-parisc mailing list is OK.
