Stepping down as kbuild maintainer

It has been fun to be kbuild maintainer but
as things stand right now I do not have the
time needed to be kbuild maintainer.

I have done this solely on a hobbyist basis
and family (3 kids etc) + job require me
so the kbuild maintainer job was becoming
a duty and not that fun suddenly.

Any linux related job required either
a move or too much working at home so
I drpped this idea.

So I decided to step down as maintainer
and I hope someone else can pick up.

What do I left "Orphan" as MAINTAINERS say?

I do not get many complains about kbuild these
days. All the basic stuff just works.

The only major complains are:
- no human can understand the kbuild files
[Makefile, scripts/Makefile.*]
- select does not work (that kconfig btw)
- how to do strange this when building an external module

So I feel pretty confident that things does not blow
up on you when I leave.

I keep my mail address and will be reachable there.

Good luck!

Sam
