Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Update CXL, NVDIMM, DAX, and others for djbw
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 13:15:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103201547.4079847-1-dave.jiang@intel.com> (raw)
Dan is no longer with us. Removing entries in MAINTAINERS to prevent
people from keep emailing his address.
async_tx will be essentially orphaned. There has been discussion of
deprecation for the feature on the dmaengine mailing list.
fsdax will no longer have a maintainer. But there are reviewers still
and Alison Schofield will continue to wrangle patches for DAX overall.
