   I actually rather volunteered to help out with testing as I seemed
to have access to a good collection of mpx83xxx based reference boards.
I only took maintainership of mpc837xerdb recently after we moved with
generic board support.

   I feel there might be some others with higher level of contributions
and related experience and might be interested in the custodianship.
I am cc'ing to Dirk as well as I know he had worked on mpc83xx code
quite a bit. Let's see if there is any other volunteers first.
