Subject: [RFC PATCH v2] MAINTAINERS: remove unreachable people that have left Atmel

When sending an email regarding a patch to wilc1000, you get the following
automatic replies:
"Sung_hoon Cho is no longer with Atmel Corporation."
"Kang_hee Park is no longer with Atmel Corporation."
"Dong_ho Shin is no longer with Atmel Corporation."
"Bo_moon Kim is no longer with Atmel Corporation."
"Min_su Kim is no longer with Atmel Corporation."
"Jun_hyuk Lee is no longer with Atmel Corporation."

Removing these email addresses that don't reach the addressee anymore.

Hi,

Just got the same automatic reply from Glen Lee's address.

This is unfortunate since it means this driver has no maintainer listed.
What do people suggest to do in this case?

I can't find an alternative email address for any of them.

Thanks,
Luis

Hi Luis, Greg,

I'd like that we don't delete the entry for this wilc1000 driver
but change it with the patch below.
After the Microchip - Atmel merger, Aditya and Ganesh will take over the
maintenance of this driver and will continue the work that our former
colleagues started.

Thanks, bye.

Let's delete the whole entry please.

And, if no one steps up from Atmel, we might just have to delete the
driver as well :(

thanks,

Nice :) This is good news

I am happy to help as well if I can get my hands on the hardware.
