I offered to, but there are other maintainers. I mostly offered to prove Linus was being totally two faced about it. When he removed the driver at the original authors request I asked him to remove all my code too because his approach was offensive to me. He refused. The new maintainer has not only taken over maintenance but has also replaced the binary only modules with open source equivalents.
