cover Replace Tomasz Duszynski as maintainer for PMS7003

Hi all.

This patch series covers replacing Tomasz's entries in both the PMS7003 dt-bindings and his entry in MAINTAINERS. All of his entries across IIO appear to be dead, which is why this is being sent. Jonathan Cameron's approved of this [1] so his entries in iio are being replaced and an RFC regarding this topic with Tomasz Cced has been sitting on lore.kernel.org for about a month now.

Last replies are from Feb 2026, so not that far away. I fail to see the context behind that change.

Anyway, it's like fourth patch from you doing the same. It's even more confusing seeing this done file by file.

Maybe you just want to add yourself as co-maintainer?

In the context of this one, co-maintainer may make more sense, I'm not as familiar with this driver as I am with, say, the sps30. However I think we still don't want patches to land in Tomasz's (seemingly abandoned) email. I would probably wait for Jonathan to chime regarding that however.

Re: [PATCH 2/2] MAINTAINERS: Add myself as maintainer for PMS7003

Hi,

I've been trying to catch up on the recent discussion. A few things I want to address:

1. My email is active and I do read patches (when CCd), but by the time I have a proper slot to sit down and review something, it's usually already gone through several rounds.
Chiming in at that point just for the sake of it doesn't add much value imo.

2. I get the impression you're thinking that since I'm not actively maintaining these drivers, you can step in and take ownership. I'm broadly fine with that, but I'd want to see more work and patches coming from you first. If that happens, we can revisit the ownership question. That said, do you actually have these sensors on hand to test more invasive changes? If you've already answered that just skip it as I'll probably stumble upon it whilst going through overdue mails.

3. I've managed to carve out some extra time lately, so I'm happy to be more involved with reviews going forward if that's useful.

In the meantime I'll go through the remaining emails to get better context.

I don't have sps30 or pms7003 but I should be able to get my hands on them pretty easily. I did get an scd30 though to do more extensive testing with that.

Ok then, sorry about prematurely trying this. I'll see about doing some more patches for sps30 though (I've taken some interest into it).

On this, if you want to take a look at a patch but are busy at the time (happens to all of us!) then feel free to just reply to say that is the case. Most stuff isn't urgent enough and I do take things a bit quickly sometimes (driven by desire to keep the queue manageable!)

This was driven by some confusion and I think a bounce on a different email address (octakon). For the scd30, would you mind if we put you back (can be along side Maxwell who stepped up because the original suggestion was to mark it orphaned) with this email address?
