The author and maintainer of the firmware loader died on May. I think this little piece is very important for the kernel. Anybody is taking care of firmware loader?

I's move the data (at least the name) to a THANKS (or some such) file for people who left as maintainers (for whatever reason). I think they deserve our lasting gratitude.

I think he belongs into CREDITS, just like the late Leonard Zubkoff.

Adding the fact that they're deceased is probably a good idea, lest people email them, expect a response and try to flame them or something (as happened recently with Leonard iirc).
