AFAICS, the architecture is stillborn - they planned to use it in game
consoles and stuff like that, but recession has hit the fan just as they
were about to do that. Maintainers are not employed there anymore, gcc
had a commit updating maintainer address, but the new address is of
form ...+gcc@... and no corresponding update of address in the kernel
tree has happened. In such situation I would really hesitate to put
the new address into MAINTAINERS...

IOW, this is an ex-parrot.
