In fact I think I'm only a speed bumper here. There's so little work to do on the sis5513 driver now that I don't follow IDE work closely anymore and must refresh my memories even for such simple patches. I believe there are people around more fit than me for sis5513 maintenance.



I'm not aware of any such person...




Vojtech seemed quite proficient at sis5513.c hacking :-)


Dedicated maintainers are very useful even for legacy drivers.
This way the subsystem maintainer doesn't have to worry about
every fscking driver (less bugs, faster development). :-)




Ok, if you think a dedicated maintainer is the way to go, I'll continue to review occasional patches. In fact I enjoy doing this from time to time, I was merely worried about not being the best fit for the job anymore.

Regards,

Lionel.
