[PATCH net] MAINTAINERS: Gary Zambrano's email is bouncing

[Florian Fainelli]

Gary has not been with Broadcom for some time now, replace his address
with the internal mailing-list used for other entries.

Michael,

Since this is an old driver, not sure who could step up as a maintainer
for b44?

Without an actual maintainer, this should really be
orphan and not supported.

And the M: bcm-kernel-feedback-list@ should be L:

BCM4401 NICs are essentially from 2002.

Does anyone really use these any longer with a
current distribution or kernel version?

I would like to hear from Michael before concluding that

The list does not accept public subscribers, so this is the correct
entry to use.

This NIC is also embedded inside BCM47xx/BCM53xx which is still
getting active support from Rafal and Hauke.

No worries.

Then M: is definitely _not_ the correct entry for this
and it should be:

L: bcm-kernel-feedback-list@broadcom.com (subscribers-only)

Olof indicated otherwise, so who is right here?

I have worked on this NIC more than 10 years ago.  Last time I
checked, I don't have this NIC anymore after moving offices several
times.

I don't mind being the maintainer, if no one else more suitable and
have access to hardware wants to do it.

This hasn't been applied to -next, and I looked at the 
existing L: entries.

No worries here either if it's an exploder and not a mailing list.

Pity it's not called something like bcm-linux-drivers@broadcom.com
if it's really an exploder.

Should I resubmit with your name as a maintainer or do you want to do it?

I will submit the patch in a day or 2.  Unless of course someone wants
to be the maintainer instead.
