Dear Reinhard Meyer,

Reinhard, do you volunteer? For AVR32? Or also for AT91?
that would be a possibility. However I was more thinking in the way, that since there are practically no other contributors right now that Wolfgang would take my patches directly to mainstream unless someone protests them in due time.
I have no chance to test anything, so rather leave responsibility with someone who actually can do at least some testing, and who has an understanding of the architecture.
As a custodian I sure would need more help and advice on how to handle certain situations. I would (for start) have to rely on advice from Wolfgang or someone else.
No problem.
And as a custodian for AT91 I would mostly collect my own patches, <sarcasm> review them, apply them after 2 weeks of nobody commenting on them </sarcasm> and once in a while ask Wolfgang to pull them to mainstream?
Right. And please don't forget the testing :-)
If, after considering my comments above, you still think you really need a custodian for AT91, I am game for it.
If you are willing to take that responsibility, please send me (off list) your SSH public key so I can give you write permission to the custodian repository. And thanks in advance.
PS: from messages in Atmel forums I notice that many users use some branched-off old versions of u-boot and (almost naturally) have issues with that.
I'd be happy to have working support for them in mainline.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
