Pretty much all of these hasn't seen any action singe 2008 at the very
least. Barring the occasional buildfix and DRM-wide refactoring of
course.

Note: some distributions have stopped shipping their userspace
counterparts for a while. Although some still do.

I'm inclined to list these as Obsolete, yet that implies that there's
something better in the works, yet there isn't.

I believe many people will be happy to see these drivers go, although I
doubt interested parties are about to port them to KMS/DRI2 unless we
make some noise. Like, say, propose their removal ? ;-)

If we do this, does get_maintainers.pl still list dri-devel@fd.o and
Dave's mail address? Just want to make sure that patches for those won't
suddenly disappear out of sight (not that there are many really).

What a happy little accident it will be if it they do. One could say
"they haven't worked in years" and give them the stick ;-)

But seriously - yes it still lists Dave/dri-devel. Here is the output

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/gpu/drm/sis/

David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS)
Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> (commit_signer:1/1=100%)
Mikko Rapeli <mikko.rapeli@iki.fi> (commit_signer:1/1=100%,authored:1/1=100%)
dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org (open list:DRM DRIVERS)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

And for reference

$ git grep -2 -h "drm/sis" MAINTAINERS

DRM DRIVER FOR SIS VIDEO CARDS
S:      Orphan / Obsolete
F:      drivers/gpu/drm/sis/
