Hey everyone

I recently sent a patch and got a DNS error lookup for dev.tdt.de. Is
Martins mail still valid? Should it be updated?

Hi Joel!

Yes, I'm still alive and reachable. ;-)

We had some technical issues with our DNS entry for the dev.tdt.de
subdomain after adding an spf entry, which is fixed now.

Regards,
Martin

About 1 year ago I was asked by Arnd Bergmann if I would like to become
the maintainer for the X.25 stack:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/patch/20191209151256.2497534-4-arnd@xxxxxxxx/#2320767

Yes, I would agree to be listed as a maintainer.

But I still think it is important that we either repair or delete the
linux-x25 mailing list. The current state that the messages are going
into nirvana is very unpleasant.
