You misunderstand me. It is not up to me to decide who the custodian shall be. This is a community decision, which in the past has always been based on a track record of previous work with the U-Boot community. It makes a lot of sense to handle this case in the same way. > I contend that an > in-house custodian(Altera employee) would do a much better job, have the > information, and put Altera's best interest first in this job. Resources and interest are but one side; the other is experience of working with and being part of the community. Being custodian is a really trustworthy position - but trust cannot be assigned, it results from previous work here in the community.
