He's no longer active maintaining ISDN/mISDN subsystem: his last message
on kernel mailing lists was three years ago [1] and last commit activity
from him was 1e1589ad8b5cb5 ("mISDN: Support DR6 indication in mISDNipac
driver") in 2016 when he gave Acked-by: from his @b1-systems.de address.

Move him to CREDITS, as netdev people should already handle ISDN/mISDN
patches.

Are you sure he's not active?  It doesn't take much work to keep an old
subsystem like this alive, last I remember, real changes were accepted
just fine.

Perhaps just don't send coding style cleanups to old subsystems?  :)

I would not take these unless Karsten agrees that he no longer wants to
maintain this.

thanks,

As for LKML messages, yes; he doesn't post any new messages since 2020.

OK, I will send a private message to him asking for continuing maintainer
role. If there's no response from him by the new year, then it's safe to
route this through net tree instead (hence [PATCH net]).

Thanks.

Why are you arbritrarily saying that "no response in 2 weeks, during the
time of the year almost all of Europe is on vacation, means we drop
someone from the MAINTAINERS file"?

Please slow down, relax, and don't do this.

Because I'm impatient. Maybe I can wait for right timing to reroll once
Karsten agrees to remove his MAINTAINERS entry.

Thanks.

Then kernel development might not be the best thing to work on as
patience is required here.

That's up to Karsten, not you.

Again, please relax, slow down, and perhaps work on something more
technical, like actual kernel fixes?
