I'm not sure we can do that, esp. with the old ISA drivers. It may just
happen that the drivers are as complete as possible, and occasional
patches resulting from core changes don't necessarily have to be
signed-off-by the maintainer. I don't think we should remove the
MAINTAINERS entries in such cases blindly, at least not before the
driver itself is removed.

How long ago anyone of us used those EExpress, WD8003 or NE2000?
Not this Millennium certainly? :-)

BTW CREDITS is opt-in, isn't it?
