+Cc few DRM addresses,

Shall we make DRM accel subsystem orphaned in this case? This tree is
still mentioned in "DRM COMPUTE ACCELERATORS DRIVERS AND FRAMEWORK"
maintainers entry, but if no work is happening, no updates to Git repo,
then does that mean project is effectively dead now?

To be fair, the patches are still posted [1] but if nothing is picked up
to the repo then maybe new maintainers are needed? Or repo did move to
other place silently?
