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?


Nope, that won't work. Linus will not accept pull requests without signed key,
or at least I would be very surprised if he does. You'll have to get your key
signed. I understand that may be tricky, with you being in Japan (if that is
you ;-), but we can't help it.

Thats as I figured.

It is me and I just missed LinuxCon Japan 2016 as I was out of town. I have some contacts I may be able to reach out to though.
