From 761e5afb6ddbfd4c0523ec294b7d24f3652912c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2024 09:52:43 -0600 Subject: MAINTAINERS: move the BFQ io scheduler to orphan state Nobody is maintaining this code, and it just falls under the umbrella of block layer code. But at least mark it as such, in case anyone wants to care more deeply about it and assume the responsibility of doing so.

However, there are still many users, I have decided to step forward and assume the role of maintainer to ensure continued support and development. While I may not be the one with the most extensive knowledge of BFQ's internals, I have been actively involved in its development since 2021. Moreover, our team continues to rigorously test BFQ in downstream kernels, ensuring it's stability and performance. Despite my confidence to maintain BFQ, I believe it is prudent to classify its state as "Odd Fixes" to accurately reflect my relatively new position as the maintainer. By assuming this responsibility, I am committed to providing the necessary support and addressing any issues that may arise with BFQ. As time progresses, we will reassess the situation and determine the appropriate state.
