There has not been any specific comment on marking kernel parts solely
"maintained" by Ralf Baechle as Orphan.

So, given the feedback on this overall patch set from Maciej and Kurt:
- the domain lookup for linux-mips.org does resolve again.
- the patchwork instance moved.
- Ralf Baechle's email now does at least forward somewhere.

However, it still holds that:

Ralf Baechle has not been active since February 2018; so, set all
MAINTAINERS sections with Ralf as sole maintainer to Orphan, and give
others a chance to claim maintainership if these sections are still of
interest.

I suggest that independent of the other patches in this patch set, I
rework the commit message of this patch here (basically dropping the
first sentence) and send out a final patch for this subject that
Thomas can then pick.

Any comments or rejections to that suggestion?
