This is the list of maintainer names/sections that seem not to have signed, authored or acked a commit in 3 years. After some editing and additional grepping, I got 133 entries. The grep patterns I used are imperfect. For instance, the MAINTAINERS file has "Hideaki Yoshifuji" but he doesn't ever sign anything that way. His signature is "Yoshifuji Hideaki". If anyone sees any obvious false-positives, please let me know. I'll send a private email to all these people and see if they want to be listed in the MAINTAINERS file and see what happens. Here is the list two ways, alphabetic by name and by section By Name: Ali Akcaagac <[email protected]> DC395x SCSI driver Aloisio Almeida Jr <[email protected]> NFC SUBSYSTEM Andreas Koensgen <[email protected]> 6PACK NETWORK DRIVER FOR AX.25 Andrew Hendry <[email protected]> X.25 NETWORK LAYER Andrew Veliath <[email protected]> MULTISOUND SOUND DRIVER Andries Brouwer <[email protected]> DISK GEOMETRY AND PARTITION HANDLING Andy Henroid <[email protected]> IDLE-I7300 Anil Ravindranath <[email protected]> PMC SIERRA MaxRAID DRIVER Anil S Keshavamurthy <[email protected]> KPROBES Antoine Jacquet <[email protected]> USB ZR364XX DRIVER Antonino Daplas <[email protected]> S3 SAVAGE FRAMEBUFFER DRIVER Armin Schindler <[email protected]> ISDN SUBSYSTEM (Eicon active card driver) "Arvind R." <[email protected]> EDAC-I82975X Aurelien Jacquiot <[email protected]> C6X ARCHITECTURE Bill Metzenthen <[email protected]> FPU EMULATOR Brian Johnson <[email protected]> GSPCA SN9C20X SUBDRIVER Bruce Chang <[email protected]> VIA SD/MMC CARD CONTROLLER DRIVER Cesar Miquel <[email protected]> USB DIAMOND RIO500 DRIVER Cezary Jackiewicz <[email protected]> COMPAL LAPTOP SUPPORT Chaoming Li <[email protected]> RTL8192CE WIRELESS DRIVER Chen Liqin <[email protected]> SCORE ARCHITECTURE Chris Brannon <[email protected]> STAGING - SPEAKUP CONSOLE SPEECH DRIVER Christine Caulfield <[email protected]> DISTRIBUTED LOCK MANAGER (DLM) Christopher Harrer <[email protected]> STAGING - SLICOSS Christoph Raisch <[email protected]> EHCA (IBM GX bus InfiniBand adapter) DRIVER Colin Leroy <[email protected]> ADT746X FAN DRIVER Daniel Oliveira Nascimento <[email protected]> CMPC ACPI DRIVER Daniel Ribeiro <[email protected]> ARM/EZX SMARTPHONES (A780, A910, A1200, E680, ROKR E2 and ROKR E6) Dario Ballabio <[email protected]> U14-34F SCSI DRIVER Dirk Eibach <[email protected]> ADS1015 HARDWARE MONITOR DRIVER Dirk Opfer <[email protected]> ARM/TOSA MACHINE SUPPORT Doug Thompson <[email protected]> EDAC-I5000 Doug Warzecha <[email protected]> DELL SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT BASE DRIVER (dcdbas) Egor Martovetsky <[email protected]> EDAC-PASEMI Eric Piel <[email protected]> LIS3LV02D ACCELEROMETER DRIVER Erik Andren <[email protected]> GSPCA M5602 SUBDRIVER Faisal Latif <[email protected]> NETEFFECT IWARP RNIC DRIVER (IW_NES) Ferenc Bakonyi <[email protected]> HGA FRAMEBUFFER DRIVER Florian Schilhabel <[email protected]> STAGING - REALTEK RTL8712U DRIVERS Frank Seidel <[email protected]> HARD DRIVE ACTIVE PROTECTION SYSTEM (HDAPS) DRIVER FUJITA Tomonori <[email protected]> BSG (block layer generic sg v4 driver) Gary Zambrano <[email protected]> BROADCOM B44 10/100 ETHERNET DRIVER Gilles Muller <[email protected]> COCCINELLE/Semantic Patches (SmPL) Guillaume Ligneul <[email protected]> LM73 HARDWARE MONITOR DRIVER Guo-Fu Tseng <[email protected]> JME NETWORK DRIVER Haavard Skinnemoen <[email protected]> GENERIC GPIO I2C DRIVER Henk Vergonet <[email protected]> YEALINK PHONE DRIVER Heungjun Kim <[email protected]> FUJITSU M-5MO LS CAMERA ISP DRIVER Hoang-Nam Nguyen <[email protected]> EHCA (IBM GX bus InfiniBand adapter) DRIVER "Hung Hing Lun, Mike" <[email protected]> TCP LOW PRIORITY MODULE Ion Badulescu <[email protected]> STARFIRE/DURALAN NETWORK DRIVER Ishizaki Kou <[email protected]> SPIDERNET NETWORK DRIVER for CELL Ivan Kokshaysky <[email protected]> ALPHA PORT "James R.
