Fair point, but note that get_maintainers doesn't list any developers,
and neither of the driver authors put an e-mail address in the driver.

Looking in git history, I was able to find two e-mail, but one hasn't
been used in 5+ years, so hopefully it is still active.  I have added
both to the Cc: of this e-mail and added them to the commit below.

Alessandro, Davide - you can find additional context regarding why we
are making these changes in the [00/22] e-mail that can be found here:

Thanks,
Paul.
