Hi Michal,
For folks to function as effective maintainers, they need to be able to
review and submit patches. This patch wasn't submitted following our
normal processes:

It came to me quite mangled, and was likely dropped from the mailing
lists because of the HTML.
The easiest way to do it these days is probably to just use
git-send-email. But if you're going to be an effective maintainer,
you'll need to get your email setup sorted sooner or later. That means
no Outlook.
It's also normal to cc the person who is being replaced, or even after
they've moved on to other jobs.
Since there are three of you, could you please go take a look at this
"trenchboot" stuff? Their aim seems to be to duplicate some of what
tboot can be used for, and they expect to leverage TXT itself:

If nothing else, it would be great to know if you folks think trenchboot
is the way forward and what the future of the tboot code in the kernel
is if trenchboot is also there.
Oh, and again since there are three of you... first link in:
Documentation/arch/x86/intel_txt.rst
gets a 404. That would be a nice thing to fix up first, I think. Maybe
you can send a fix for that along with the fixed MAINTAINERS update.
