I just wrote to Alessandro in order to have some suggestions about a
misc device I wish to propose to this list, but he told me that he wants
leave his maintanership.
So which is the person should I send my requests about misc devices?
He also asked to me to propose to this list a "patch" to remove him
from the MAINTANERS file... if so the new entry should be:
MOUSE AND MISC DEVICES [GENERAL]
L: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S: Maintained

I in fact never understood what this maintainers entry meant ... what is
the device in question here?

I thought mouse was a part of linux-input? Or am I missing something?
Besides that misc thingie is really creepy, makes me feel Ive
missed something.


Anyway, something for Andrew

Subject: [PATCH] remove "Mouse and Misc devices" from MAINTAINERS

remove "Mouse and Misc devices" from MAINTAINERS

Alessandro himself claims that he gives up maintainership, and to be
frank, I don't have a clue what this entry is about.
