We tried to get the list maintainership moved to over to us by the time
Intel decided to drop FCoE. But for some reasons this never worked out,
so while the list is technically alive we don't have any means of

Maybe we should be moving it to somewhere else.
But yes, we _do_ take fixes for it.

Hannes
