It would really depend on what's required of a maintainer, I'm struggling to find this documented anywhere. Cards I can't test with would really need someone to be able to add a tested-by to verify they work. >> >>> I think that your proposal to use a stripped version of Luis Alves >>> repo is a no go, since it contains a couple of demod/tuner drivers >>> that are not upstreamed yet.
