It wouldn't make sense to orphan code based solely on the maintainer not committing anything in X years. Many parts of the kernel are already finalized and need nothing from the maintainers (the only changes they receive are things like these caused by internal kernel interface changes). Example: ISA drivers. And I assume you look at drivers, subsystems, directories, not mere files (many .h files weren't touched since they were written). You orphan the code when a) it needs action from the maintainer, and b) the maintainer isn't there, and c) the above isn't going to change. -- Krzysztof Halasa
