There is no maintainer for MPC83xx AFAIK at this time (Kim is no longer with FSL). I have a set of mpc83xx boards that I could test out new patches for. I am cc'ing to Stefan as we discussed something similar briefly sometimes ago.

Yes. And I think we can now safely assume, that Kim will not continue to maintain the MPC83xx boards. As we've not heard from him for quite a while and he's not working for FSL any more.
IIRC, then you Sinan volunteered to take over this custodianship? Is this still the case? I'm adding Tom to Cc, so that we can discuss and perhaps decide this custodianship takeover on the list.
Thanks, Stefan

I actually rather volunteered to help out with testing as I seemed to have access to a good collection of mpx83xxx based reference boards. I only took maintainership of mpc837xerdb recently after we moved with generic board support.
I feel there might be some others with higher level of contributions and related experience and might be interested in the custodianship. I am cc'ing to Dirk as well as I know he had worked on mpc83xx code quite a bit. Let's see if there is any other volunteers first.
