[U-Boot-Users] Custodianship updates
Hello everybody,
as many of you will have seen, there have been a few areas in U-Boot where processing of patches and new code submissions did not work as quickly and smoothly as we all would have liked.
I'm all the more happy to be able to announce updates for two (IMHO both important) areas:
* ARM: Peter Pearse has been trying his best to do a good job to maintain the (huge!) ARM part of the U-Boot project, but he did not find enough free resources to do this on a regular base. I know all too well how that feels, as I'm in the very same situation too often myself.
But now we have the chance that Jean-Christophe Plagniol-Villard volunteers to help out, and given from the previous activities he has shown on the mailing list I think that he is very capable of doing that job.
Peter has agreed that Jean-Christophe takes over the custodianship for ARM. If there are no objections (or better suggestions) I would install this change more or less immediately.
Comments?
* MPC512x: as it turns out, Grant Likely, the custodian for MPC5xxx systems, finds neither time nor resources to work with MPC512x processors. Fortunately John Rigby volunteered, in addition to all his previous work he has optimal access to recent hardware and documentation :)
If there are no objections, I would like to split custodionship for these processors into "MPC5xxx" (meaning actually MPC5200), handled by Grant Likely as before, and into MPC512x, handled by John Rigby.
Comments?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

ACK. I have to sympathize with Peter. Doing a full time job on a spare time budget sucks.

Ditto. Sounds like John is well positioned and provisioned.
