And have been ping'd multiple time, without any answer. Plus, this thread from last december http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-December/220778.html, clearly showed that it's nothing new, and that Alessandro doesn't maintain any tree, hence why I ended up merging it.

Yes, and that's why I merged it, too. Still you should have him on Cc for the actual pull request. Arnd

I review the drivers, when appropriate, and Andrew thankfully picks them up. Important emails will usually get my attention. Even if I do not answer, is always a good idea to post in the mailing list, as there are a lot of competent people there.

Because if you follow get_maintainers.pl right now, it only states that you are the maintainer. That strongly implies that you should be the one doing reviews, and we should at least wait for your Acked-by in order to merge any RTC patches. And past experience show that we can wait for a while. Don't get this wrong, but the way you maintain it is rather unusual, and your silence about this just makes us wonder what to do with your patches, up until completely merging them anyway. For the record, it's something I feel rather uncomfortable about, but it seems like it's the only way to get something merged anyway. Not having time to maintain your subsystem is totally fine, and as a hobbyist maintainer too, I completely understand it. But if you can't cope with the patches anymore, maybe you should find another co-maintainer? Especially if you have reliable contributors, like you're suggesting. Maxime
