+CC The openrisc list

Understood, I don't think we would want that to happen.

Look at the entry today:

OPENRISC ARCHITECTURE
M: Jonas Bonn <jonas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
W: http://openrisc.net
S: Maintained
T: git git://openrisc.net/~jonas/linux
F: arch/openrisc/

At the very least, W: and T: are incorrect and need to be updated or removed.
Plus, apparently there is a L:, and "T: https://github.com/openrisc/linux";
might be appropriate.


Thanks,
I am aware of this, we have since setup a new website, mailing list and as you have found, git repo. Stefan has been nominated as the maintainer by Jonas on a previous mail thread.

The issue (as we see it) is that neither Stefan or I have signed PGP keys by anyone in the web of trust.

I sent this patch set with a cover lett trying to explain of the situation trying to get some help. Your reponses are very helpful.

Do you think I should just send "git pull" reuqests to Linus with a self signed pgp key and eplaination to see how it goes?
