I don't have any bad feelings about CUSE mmap, it was definitely not a
personal thing. But it also wasn't something that many people were
requesting, and the silence was probably at about the time that I was
taking a leave from paid maintainership. So a number of factors.

Patches are still welcome, if it's something that is used in practice
(e.g. by Android) that's a plus point.

Thanks,
