Hups... sorry. Seems I missed this EMail ...

I could not parse you here ...

Looking in linux MAINTAINERS:

MEMORY TECHNOLOGY DEVICES (MTD)
M:      David Woodhouse <dwmw2 at infradead.org>
M:      Brian Norris <computersforpeace at gmail.com>
L:      linux-mtd at lists.infradead.org
W:      http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/
Q:      http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-mtd/list/

...
and a lot more ...

So where is the difference? The mtd mailinglist? I am sure
we do not want to introduce a seperate mailinglist...

I do not want to maintain your parts!

> Comments?

@Kyungmin Park: Could you comment here too, espacially for ubi/ubifs
                 IIRC I see no comments for the "MTD/UBI/UBIFS sync with
                 Linux 3.14" patches from me ... do you have longer time
                 for maintaining this?

                 There are also patches (some here for example which are
                 pending, and seeing no comments from you ...)

                 for example 2 examples from me:
                 [U-Boot] mtd, ubi: errormessage handling
                 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/405259/

                 [U-Boot,v2] ubi: enable error reporting in initialization
                 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/407136/
bye,
Heiko
