[PATCH v2 0/1] MAINTAINERS: mark HPFS as orphaned

[PATCH v2 0/1] MAINTAINERS: mark HPFS as orphaned

[Breno Rodrigues Alves]

This is v2 of the HPFS series.  Based on the feedback from Mikulas
Patocka on v1, the approach has changed substantially:

 - Instead of removing the HPFS driver, mark it as orphaned in
   MAINTAINERS and route patches to linux-fsdevel.  This respects
   Mikulas's use of the filesystem with OS/2 and the fact that
   MAINTAINERS still listed him as the maintainer.

 - Drop the stale maintainer entry (Mikulas has confirmed he is not
   actively maintaining the code) and the personal website URL.

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

 - The HPFS_SUPER_MAGIC value in include/uapi/linux/magic.h remains
   untouched, as does userspace ABI compatibility.

I'm sending this as v2 of the same series rather than as a new thread
so that the discussion stays together.  If reviewers prefer a fresh
thread, I'm happy to resend with a new subject.

[PATCH v2 1/1] MAINTAINERS: mark HPFS as orphaned

[Breno Rodrigues Alves]

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.
