[U-Boot] Custodian Repo for Broadcom (arm) boards

Tom & Albert, Please approve the creation of a custodian repo for the Broadcom (arm) boards. ( Wolfgang already has my public key... )
Wolfgang stated:
Before I can set up a new custodian repo, please post your offer on the U-Boot mailing list - I think the chips in question belong to the ARM architecture (?), so both the ARM custodian (Albert) and Tom should agree with the creation of such a new repo. Once I have their "go" it is only a matter of minutes.
Thanks! Steve

Will bcm283x/Raspberry Pi changes go through any such repo too? Either way is fine by me; I just need to know whether to Cc Steve or not when I post patches, and perhaps update some MAINTAINERS entries so others can do that too.

I would prefer NOT to handle bcm283x (raspberry pi) stuff.... (That project is really outside of Broadcom Ltd's control...) Thanks, Steve

So, I do have a few BCM patches outstanding (and I'm build testing them now). ELC kicked -rc1 out a week (I'll be tagging it once I have this series happy enough to push out with it). Are you expecting the volume of boards to increase? Thanks!

No -- only planning to add 2 new boards.... It is just that with the current process, I waiting "months" to get patches applied - so Marek suggested that maybe I need to be a custodian, so that I can move things along....

Er, months? Sorry, I'm not seeing it right away at least: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?submitter=64015&state=* (and questions about how did .... get into state ... ? are answered with "I took a stab at it").

how about: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?submitter=64015&state=&... shows two outstanding from Feb 9 !!! (plus the three that I assume you are currently working on.....) Thanks, Steve

... yes, the gadget ones that wouldn't go through a BCM tree anyhow :)
But... I think I mis-assigned them in patchwork and it should be in my queue anyhow, sorry.

OK -- then I am OK to abandon this "custodian request" .....
I guess I just need to know: -- what is a "typical" timeframe for getting stuff applied, and -- "how" and "who" to nudge in order to get things moving along - when that timeframe has expired.... -- how to escalate when those "nudges" seem to be ignored....
Thanks, Steve

Well, this was probably the outside edge of it. I saw these before making v2016.03 but since it's a tricky enough area I didn't want to grab them before release. Then I figured they would get picked up by the custodian for v2016.05-rc1. They didn't since I mis-assigned them.
-- how to escalate when those "nudges" seem to be ignored....
Well, if something is posted after $X-rc1 and not merged by $((X + 1))-rc1, please reply to the release email asking if someone can grab $patches as they've been around for a while.
