MAINTAINERS:85: Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the MAINTAINERS-86- role as you write your new code]. Parport is an orphan, hasn't had a maintainer since at least 2.6.12, and has almost no activity minus drive-by cleanups and new device ID support every once in awhile. Sudip is writing new code. If Sudip wants to be a maintainer of parport, assuming he has the time and resources to give it a go, I think he should be welcomed to it. Thanks Sudip.
