+Cc: Jagan, Tom

Who is supposed to pick up these patches? Some of them have been around
for some months (before I resent them).

There is no maintainer for drivers/mtd/spinand/ and no maintainer for
drivers/mtd/ in general.

In Patchwork Jagan got assigned, but the get_maintainer.pl script didn't
even add him to Cc, of course.

Any ideas how to proceed?

Thanks
Frieder
