| |
I'm afraid the time has come for me to step down as maintainer for the MMC/SD/SDIO subsystem and for someone else to take over the rudder. It is no secret that I haven't been able to give the maintainer role the resources it required, and as a result it has gone from being a fun hobby to a burdensome chore. I was hoping it was a temporary slump, but this has been the norm for over a year now, so it's time for me to throw in the towel.
I don't have any clear nominees for a replacement, but if you feel that you are in a position to take over the maintainer role then please raise your hand.
I only have a few patches in my queue right now and I can push those off to Linus before I quit. There are however a lot of unhandled messages that need attention. I can provide a list once a successor has been named.
I realise that you have put a lot of time and effort into the patches you send me and I am truly sorry that I haven't been able to handle them better. Hopefully me stepping down means that we get someone who can actually take care of everything in a timely manner.
I haven't decided what to do with the sdhci maintainership yet. Right now I only know I need a break and freeing myself from the MMC maintainer role is the first step. Hopefully I can return as a developer in the future.
