Would have been nicer and more informative if you kept MAINTAINERS
in the first revert patch and then really "Add yourself and Hyunchul
Less as maintainers".

A note about the CREDITS file.
Willy's deprecate commit that you partially reverted added this CREDITS record:
`
NTFS FILESYSTEM
N: Anton Altaparmakov
E: anton@...era.com
D: NTFS filesystem
`

It is oddly formatted - this NTFS FILESYSTEM header is uncovetional in
this file.
and also, Anton already had a more descriptive entry in the CREDITS file:
`
N: Anton Altaparmakov
E: aia21@...tab.net
W: http://www-stu.christs.cam.ac.uk/~aia21/
D: Author of new NTFS driver, various other kernel hacks.
S: Christ's College
S: Cambridge CB2 3BU
S: United Kingdom
`

So I think that the later entry could be reverted along with the revert commit
and maybe add or update to the Tuxera email/website entries, because the
current W link in CREDITS is broken.

Thanks,
Amir.
