[U-Boot-Users] Custodianship updates

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hello everybody,

as many of you will have seen, there have been a few areas in  U-Boot
where  processing of patches and new code submissions did not work as
quickly and smoothly as we all would have liked.

I'm all the more happy to be able to announce updates for two (IMHO
both important) areas:

* ARM: Peter Pearse has been trying his best to  do  a  good  job  to
  maintain the (huge!) ARM part of the U-Boot project, but he did not
  find enough free resources to do this on a regular base. I know all
  too  well  how  that  feels,  as I'm in the very same situation too
  often myself.

  But now we have the chance  that  Jean-Christophe  Plagniol-Villard
  volunteers  to  help out, and given from the previous activities he
  has shown on the mailing list I think that he is  very  capable  of
  doing that job.

  Peter has agreed that Jean-Christophe takes over the  custodianship
  for ARM. If there are no objections (or better suggestions) I would
  install this change more or less immediately.

  Comments?

* MPC512x: as it turns out, Grant Likely, the custodian  for  MPC5xxx
  systems,  finds  neither  time  nor  resources to work with MPC512x
  processors. Fortunately John Rigby volunteered, in addition to  all
  his  previous  work  he  has  optimal access to recent hardware and
  documentation :)

  If there are no objections, I would like to split custodionship for
  these processors into "MPC5xxx" (meaning actually MPC5200), handled
  by Grant Likely as before, and into MPC512x, handled by John Rigby.
