Hi Joe,

So I can confirm that he is no longer here, and as far
as I know is not interested in maintaining this edac driver:

EDAC-I3000
M:      Jason Uhlenkott <juhlenko@akamai.com>
L:      linux-edac@vger.kernel.org
S:      Maintained
F:      drivers/edac/i3000_edac.

We also no longer have this h/w around, so we don't
have a way to even test changes really.

I think we should probably just remove the entry.

Thanks,

-Jason

Maybe mark it Obsolete or Orphan.

Does anyone, even anyone from Intel, care?

Yap, let's mark it Orphan and remove Jason Uhlenkott's email address. I
wouldn't go as far as removing it just yet especially if it doesn't cost
us anything to have it in there and someone might have a box with the
hardware somewhere...

Agreed.  I don't have a box to test, so I can't take on this driver. But leaving
it in tree for a while longer doesn't hurt (much ... it seems to get a tree-wide
cleanup patch about once a year ... which doesn't sound like a crushing
overhead).

Here it is:

Subject: [PATCH] EDAC, I3000: Orphan driver

Apparently there's no hw left at Intel for testing patches and Jason is
not going to maintain it anymore.

Thanks Borislav.

I have the same thing locally and was going to send
it in a couple weeks with a larger series for all the
other bounces after trying to contact the bouncees at
other possible email addresses.

I was going to send all the updates via Andrew Morton.

If you want to apply this one first, that's fine by me.

Thanks, I'll route it through the EDAC tree.
