I have done this solely on a hobbyist basis and family (3 kids etc) + job require me so the kbuild maintainer job was becoming a duty and not that fun suddenly. Any linux related job required either a move or too much working at home so I drpped this idea. So I decided to step down as maintainer and I hope someone else can pick up. What do I left "Orphan" as MAINTAINERS say? I do not get many complains about kbuild these days. All the basic stuff just works. The only major complains are: - no human can understand the kbuild files [Makefile, scripts/Makefile.*] - select does not work (that kconfig btw) - how to do strange this when building an external module So I feel pretty confident that things does not blow up on you when I leave. I keep my mail address and will be reachable there. Good luck! Sam
