So this is what we have in MAINTAINERS right now: RTL8187 WIRELESS DRIVER M: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> M: Hin-Tak Leung <htl10@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> M: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> L: linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx S: Maintained W: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/ T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git F: drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl818x/rtl8187/ In the git history the last activity from Herton is from 2010 so I think we should remove him. Is Hin-Tak still active? The last activity is from 2020. Also the git tree is outdated so that should be removed. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
