No worries, that's great.

I wasn't proposing remove any code, just updating
any invalid or old maintainer addresses.

I certainly won't submit any patch removing those.

This is an alias for suse.de, so I guess it's safe to remove from the list ;).

Hi Joe!
Been using this email address as my main address for nearly 17 years
now. I keep getting dc395x related scsi driver mails every now and then
and even respond on them case by case. I even filter these mails, order
them in my mailbox and read them.
I removed my LKML subscription a few years ago because of the traffic
and maintaincance it causes for me (this also affects all other
mailinglists I was subscribed to). I am more the kind of guy that
responds rarely on things and only when necessary and special occasions.
Regards,
Ali Akcaagac

Hi Joe,
The address "support.opensource@diasemi.com" works. Thanks.

The support.opensource e-mail address is an alias contact group that sends to all kernel developers
at Dialog Semiconductor.
There is no way for that address to submit content to the kernel, we do that individually through
our personal e-mail (for accountability reasons), but when that address is used externally to contact
Dialog about our drivers, it gets translated and sent to all current Dialog kernel driver developers.
That method has advantages for us: all developers gets the message; it ensures somebody will pick up
the query; we can alter the internal developer inbox addresses and alter the list of developers internally ..
and we only need a single e-mail address in the kernel MAINTAINERS list.
Regards,
Steve

Please keep mchehab@kernel.org at MAINTAINERS.
While I don't use it when signing patches, this is a canonical way to
reach me. My e-mail changed several times over the last years. So, I
opted to use my email @kernel.org as the main one on MAINTAINERS
because I was tired of changing my entries there every time I had
to change my SOB e-mail.
I suspect that you'll see several similar cases on your bcc list.
Regards,
Mauro

Hi Joe,
aacraid@microsemi.com is a mailing list, and is valid. I thought I had changed aacraid@adaptec.com, but must have missed stable.
Will submit that soon.

We can change mine from sfrench@samba.org to smbfrench@gmail.com since
Samba.org email is more awkward to get that gmail these days (I read it
less often) and I use a non-Samba.org email for my commits.

Hi Joe,
Please keep my shuah@kernel.org address. I don't use it for signing
patches. I use it so I don't misses patches whenver I am forced to
change my Sign-off address. I have had to change my address for one
reason or the other for the last few years.
thanks,

This mailing-list was recently added under the M: entry with commit
086f470481f5305ac52ce960e31a7d4441886e59 ("MAINTAINERS: Change L to M
for Broadcom ARM/ARM64 SoC entries") (was L: before) since no external
(to Broadcom) subscribers are allowed.
Should we add a new tag for that kind of entry?

No, I think that's not necessary.
Exploders and aliases are just fine for M: entries.
The alias/exploder address can still get stale though.
Ideally, there would also be a specific actual person listed too.
btw: maybe these L: addresses could/should change

Hi Joe,
So I can confirm that he is no longer here, and as far
as I know is not interested in maintaining this edac driver:
EDAC-I3000
M: Jason Uhlenkott <juhlenko@akamai.com>
L: linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
S: Maintained
F: drivers/edac/i3000_edac.
We also no longer have this h/w around, so we don't
have a way to even test changes really.
I think we should probably just remove the entry.
Thanks,
-Jason

Maybe mark it Obsolete or Orphan.
Does anyone, even anyone from Intel, care?

Yap, let's mark it Orphan and remove Jason Uhlenkott's email address. I
wouldn't go as far as removing it just yet especially if it doesn't cost
us anything to have it in there and someone might have a box with the
hardware somewhere...

Agreed. I don't have a box to test, so I can't take on this driver. But leaving
it in tree for a while longer doesn't hurt (much ... it seems to get a tree-wide
cleanup patch about once a year ... which doesn't sound like a crushing
overhead).

Thanks Borislav.
I have the same thing locally and was going to send
it in a couple weeks with a larger series for all the
other bounces after trying to contact the bouncees at
other possible email addresses.
I was going to send all the updates via Andrew Morton.
If you want to apply this one first, that's fine by me.

...IMHO just because there hasn't been any activity for <arbitrary

has been abandoned.
I'm using "my" subsystem (QNX4 FS) almost daily, so I don't believe
anything would be gained if get_maintainers.pl would stop keeping me
in the loop.

Nor does it mean that address/person would be purged unless
specifically requested or the email bounces.
Even if an email bounces, there are sometimes simple updates
for dead addresses like rml's tech9.
But unless you try/ask, you can't know if someone doesn't want
to be/isn't a maintainer anymore. I've had a few "I'm not
doing this anymore, remove me" type replies.
