During the next two weeks, he'll be the person collecting together any further powerpc-related commits that need to go upstream, and sending pull requests to Linus as necessary. This is the start of a longer-term transition which will ultimately result in me handing over the powerpc architecture maintainership to Ben. Because of various work commitments, this will be a gradual transition taking probably around 6 months. Paul.
