You may as well change the S: to unmaintained whilst you're there, it hasn't seen any updates in a long time, and still uses several out-of-date SCSI APIs.

Or he could completely remove the entry.
We don't have entries for every single unmaintained driver, and the smaller MAINTAINERS is the higher is the possibility of not missing a relevant entry when checking whom to send an email.

Hmm, so if a subsystem or driver (more drivers, I should think) lacks an entry in MAINTAINERS, is it then reasonable to assume that it is unmaintained? If not, perhaps creating a separate list of unmaintained subsystems and/or drivers is prudent?

For unmaintained drivers or drivers maintained by the subsystem maintainers (which can be the reason why there's no entry for this driver) contact the subsystem maintainer.
Unmaintained subsystems are a problem.
I've already started contacting subsystem maintainers that seem to be inactive, and I have some restructuring of MAINTAINERS (tree structure with drivers behind subsystems) on my TODO list.
