This driver is under my umbrella. I wrote it, and have a few devices
with it. Yet, currently, most of the patches nowadays come from
Stefan and Dmitri.

As the coding style and other serious bugs were fixed already, the
"S" tag no no longer apply. "S: Maintained" fits better.

I would either remove this entry or add a new one, cloning from the
media entry, like:

TRIDENT TVMASTER TMxxxx USB VIDEO CAPTURE DRIVERS
M:	Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@...radead.org>
P:	LinuxTV.org Project
L:	linux-media@...r.kernel.org
W:	http://linuxtv.org
Q:	http://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-media/list/
T:	git git://linuxtv.org/media_tree.git
S:	Maintained

If we add a new entry, it probably makes sense to add Stefan
and/or Dmitri as co-maintainers there, if they're ok with that.
