[PATCH] libertas: drop maintainership

[Dan Williams]

Would be better maintained by somebody who actualy has time for it.

Daniel?  Bing? :)

I'm quite happy to ACK somebody else picking libertas up, and I'm also
happy to investigate how to send my hardware cache to the new
maintainer.  (usb8388 dev modules, some CF8385s, some sd8686s, etc).
Also happy to forward along the libertas-dev moderator password.

I think it better to mark it as Orphan
and maybe leave the list.

Maybe:

MARVELL LIBERTAS WIRELESS DRIVER
L:	libertas-dev@lists.infradead.org
S:	Orphan
F:	drivers/net/wireless/libertas/

or

MARVELL LIBERTAS WIRELESS DRIVER
S:	Orphan
F:	drivers/net/wireless/libertas/

I can do that; I wasn't quite sure how to do this.  A quick check showed
patches that did what mine did, and oddly MAINTAINERS has no section for
dropping maintainership that I could quickly find.  If this is what
others prefer I'm happy to resubmit?

I probably would prefer an "Orphan" listing as well...

Thanks for all your work on libertas over the years.

I imagine I will continue to send small numbers of libertas patches as
and when new issues are found on OLPC XO, but I wouldn't be able to
make any other form of commitment, certainly not with other hardware.
I am already overstretched with my roles. So I don't really see myself
as a maintainer candidate.
