Ok. I am maintainer since three days ago and I need some time to setup
my infrastructure, then I will ask him. At the end I need to update the
MAINTAINERS file to the new infrastructure.

Yes, please Marcel. This is one file at the moment. I have in my local
branch also some patches (most of them use IPv6 API for address scopes
instead using the self builded macros). There is also a issue with error
handling which should be a long overdue fix. You will get some patches
for these issues in the next days.


If we have more implementation stuff in there, then we should setup a
own 6lowpan mailinglist maybe. At the moment this is fine.

Thanks.
