MAINTAINERS: Saying goodbye to David Brownell
RFC PATCH 1/1 MAINTAINERS: Saying goodbye to David Brownell
We had to say goodbye when David passed away recently. David had a huge impact on our community, both personally in the lives of the people he worked with, and technically in the design and maintenance of several subsystems. He is greatly missed.
He also leaves behind a number of much loved subsystems now orphaned. This patch updates the MAINTAINERS file for the areas that David was responsible for. While it removes Davids name from the MAINTAINERS file, it by no mean should be seen as forgetting David's involvement or the work he's accomplished. Indeed, his name remains prominent in the changelog and copyright notices of many files in the kernel.
Rather, this is intended to highlight the work that David accomplished and to ask for volunteers to pick up from where David left off.

Adding a record to ./CREDITS would be appropriate. It will be a lengthy one.
