Also recently, we had some fuzzer developers report bugs in hfs, which they deem a security hole because Ubuntu attempts to automount an inserted USB device as hfs. We have no maintainer for hfs, and no likely prospect of anyone stepping up soon to become hfs maintainer. I think it's irresponsible of us to present unmaintained code on an equal basis with filesystems under active maintenance like ext2. I therefore propose we move the following filesystems which are explicitly listed as Orphaned to staging: affs - Amiga filesystem. efs - old SGI filesystem predating XFS, used on CDs for a while. hfs - Mac filesystem. hfsplus - Mac filesystem. I further propose we move the following filesystems which have no entry in MAINTAINERS to staging: adfs - Acorn filesystem from the 1990s. minix qnx6 We have no listed maintainer for isofs. This is clearly not a candidate for staging. Jan Kara appears to be acting as default maintainer, so I'd like to propose he gets the appropriate credit with an entry in MAINTAINERS. romfs also has no listed maintainer. I'm not sure who to suggest, but it seems to have users. tracefs isn't listed, and probably needs to become part of the TRACING entry.
