Well, there are some developers working on the driver and there are some developers that do not actively work on the driver but used to work on it in the past (that includes me). Neither of them is an official maintainer (yet). I used to be a maintainer, but I dropped my official MAINTAINERS file entry, because I do not actively work on b43 anymore. However, I still read the patches going into the driver and comment on them as appropriate. So well. I think b43 does not have a maintainer. But it's not unmaintained. There are lots of people working on it. I don't think an official maintainer is needed. Patches are sent directly to John (the wireless maintainer) and the b43 development crew reviews them. There's no problem with that.
