Good. Thank you, Joe!

More specific: I don't want get_maintainer.pl to print me as a
maintainer for these drivers. This gives a wrong impression to users. I
am not actively maintaining these drivers, I am collecting the odd
fixes (and also review some of them as time permits).

I am just now working on that. Most of them can easily be moved to
platform_data.

Yes, I will still be doing that. I think I will also be the one doing
most review for those odd fixes nonetheless.
