IBM will shoulder this responsibility now.
In term of the MAINTAINERS file: S: Status, one of the following: Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this. Maintained: Someone actually looks after it. The PPC entries have a 'Maintained' status. You say "IBM will shoulder this responsibility", does that mean the entries will be 'Supported' as in "someone paid to look after them"? I wonder because both Cédric and you have some commits with an IBM email, but both are registering a non-IBM email as contact. I don't mind the email technical detail, but I am curious about the status and expectations.
