No, no. You are misunderstanding what I am proposing. I don't want to replace Len I just want to act as a "proxy". I understand a maintainer can be busy and could not have enough time to take care of the subsystem is maintaining during a period because he's too busy for that. Trust me, I fully understand that :) As there are a lot of modifications of cpuidle, I am proposing to take the patches when they are acked-by, to create a consolidated tree, providing a better integration for cpuidle, a wider testing, preventing conflicts and facilitating Len's work if he agrees to pull from this tree. If that makes sense to add myself to the MAINTAINER file as a co-maintainer (understand: send to me also the patches, so I can take care of them if Len does not respond), I am ok with that. It is just about helping :) > I know that Len hasn't been responsive recently, but I also know that he > _does_ respond to inquiries sent directly to him. Do you mean to its intel address ?
