Please understand that being a Maintainer requires that you respond to
patches and questions about this driver, give Reviewed-by:, ask for
patches to be changed etc. If you don't respond, ideally with 2 to 3
days, the driver will be set to Orphaned.

If you want to maintain the Supported status, we can help you set up
the needed CI system, and get it registered so it reports the results.
