Hi Greg,
Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 6e90b675cf942e50
("MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance
requirements.") in v6.12-rc4.

This is very vague...
What are "various compliance requirements"?
What does "sufficient documentation" mean?
I can guess, but I think it's better to spell out the rules, as Linux
kernel development is done "in the open". I am also afraid this is
opening the door for further (ab)use...
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Geert

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
