I really don't want to rush into moaning, however let me ask you to drop the reason given above as invalid, otherwise please clarify who were the addressees of these 'multiple pings'.
Indeed. Since it was only last month or so that I setup a low-traffic list for maintainers / custodians for important issues like this, [..]
Wait, which list are you talking about? Should I be monitoring anything else than this one?
Ah, OK, so a new thing for my own mental checklist (which I ought to write down), there's now u-boot-custodians and u-boot-maintainers AT lists.denx.de, which are low volume custodian / maintainers only lists (they are public) to try and help avoid these "Hey, I maintain a board and just now found out I need to convert things for the next release?!?!?" problems, and similar.
Right, I remember reading about the plan to have such lists here, but I failed to find them by searching the docs in git or searching the web.
And if I fail to find them, it could be me, but just maybe I'm not the only maintainer not finding them ;-)
I emailed everyone that's listed in MAINTAINERS when the lists opened. I think this in part means there may be a board entry or two missing your email? :)
No, I'm not a maintainer of officially supported boards. Unfortunately, we're having non-mainlined private boards only. And my entry as socfpga maintainer/co-custodioan has just been aded now ;-)
However, given the many companies out there using embedded Linux nowadays, I expect many such boards exist. Any while I understand we don't want to go into too much trouble of supporting such boards, I do think maintainers of such boards should be made aware of that list, too.
I guess we could note it in the toplevel README file, but finding it on denx.de would certainly help, too.
