Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] MAINTAINERS: mark HPFS as orphaned
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 20:28:07 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023232807.206097-2-breno3011alves@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023232807.206097-1-breno3011alves@gmail.com>

HPFS has had no active maintenance for a long time.  Mikulas Patocka,
who is listed as the maintainer, has confirmed that he uses HPFS only
for personal data shared with OS/2 and is not actively maintaining the
code.  The only changes to fs/hpfs/ in recent years are drive-by
cleanups, not functional fixes.

Mark the filesystem as orphaned so that patches are routed to the
linux-fsdevel mailing list, and drop the stale maintainer and website
entries.

The driver remains in the tree.  A future removal can be proposed if
no new maintainer or additional users step up.
