I'm going to be on vacation for the next two weeks, and it looks

During the next two weeks, he'll be the person collecting together any
further powerpc-related commits that need to go upstream, and sending
pull requests to Linus as necessary.

This is the start of a longer-term transition which will ultimately
result in me handing over the powerpc architecture maintainership to
Ben. Because of various work commitments, this will be a gradual
transition taking probably around 6 months.

Paul.

Ben, Do you have a tree that you'll be using to collect things in?
