I think this indicates that configfs is partly orphaned. If not formally
then practically. Let's poke Greg and see what he says, configfs
is important for USB.

I do understand the lack of maintainership hours and that people have
more important things to do, we all suffer from this.

If you are the only one who really care maybe we should consider listing
you as configfs (co-)maintainer as well?
