Re: [PATCH] VMW_PVSCSI: Change to update maintainer details (name, email)

[Jim Gill <jgill@vmware.com>]

I don’t yet know enough to comment on the relocation of vmw_pvscsi into a new vmware folder.
I was considering offering a new patch that removed the “maintained by” from the two source
files and updated MAINTAINERS, but I’m happy to defer to people with more experience. I’m
fine either way.
