So, given the feedback on this overall patch set from Maciej and Kurt: - the domain lookup for linux-mips.org does resolve again. - the patchwork instance moved. - Ralf Baechle's email now does at least forward somewhere. However, it still holds that: Ralf Baechle has not been active since February 2018; so, set all MAINTAINERS sections with Ralf as sole maintainer to Orphan, and give others a chance to claim maintainership if these sections are still of interest. I suggest that independent of the other patches in this patch set, I rework the commit message of this patch here (basically dropping the first sentence) and send out a final patch for this subject that Thomas can then pick. Any comments or rejections to that suggestion?

Sorry, the site suffered a complete collapse after a hardware failure earlier this year - and I couldn't even get the failed drive replaced at the hoster as I didn't have the privilege of opening a ticket; that was only possible to the owner of the master account, a former MIPS employee who for health reasons no longer is with the company. The parent company of MIPS Wavecomp going through bankrupcy proceedings didn't help resolving the situation either. Anyway, there's progress on that front and I hope to get replacement hardware within the next week or so. The failed drive of the lmo server hardware changed its behavioud allowing me to reboot the system again on July 1st. I had given up on the old hardware in frustration so Kurt deserves the credits for getting me to try again. No data was lost in the crash itself. I'm now working on fixing all the failed subsystems, primarily due to a major OS upgrade by several releases, some old to-do list items and changes in the environment that affect the system. The time required to do so is enormous; I've done virtually nothing else since 1st of July. I've put an writeup about the system status to https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/System_Recovery_Status which I'm keeping updated as work progresses. As for the MAINTAINERS for the ham radio protocols - AX.25 use is going down for many years and so is NET\ROM. ROSE has always been a very rare protocol but all three stacks still have active users. With that said, I doubt somebody to do active development and maintenace will be found. So maybe leave my name in but lower to "Odd Fixes" which has been the reality for years even before I took over and imho is how it should be continued. At this point my immediate priorities are the full restoration of the lmo server and after that linux-ax25.org will need TLC and I want those to be completed before diving into code again. Ralf

The domain lookup for linux-mips.org fails for quite some time now. Hence, webpages, the patchwork instance and Ralf Baechle's email there is not reachable anymore. Ralf Baechle has not been active since February 2018; so, set all MAINTAINERS sections with Ralf as sole maintainer to Orphan, and give others a chance to claim maintainership if these sections are still of interest.
