About 1 year ago I was asked by Arnd Bergmann if I would like to become the maintainer for the X.25 stack: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/patch/20191209151256.2497534-4-arnd@arndb.de/#2320767 Yes, I would agree to be listed as a maintainer. But I still think it is important that we either repair or delete the linux-x25 mailing list. The current state that the messages are going into nirvana is very unpleasant. > > The original maintainer of X.25 network layer (Andrew Hendry) has > stopped > sending emails to the netdev mail list since 2013.

Yes, I agree. Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com> sent an email to <postmaster@vger.kernel.org> for this issue on Aug 9th, 2020, but got no reply. Maybe we need to ask Jakub or David for help.

Please resend, Aug 9th is around the time Dave had to step away so the email probably got lost in transition.

Hi Martin Schiller, would you like to be a maintainer for the X.25 stack? As we know the linux-x25 mail list has stopped working for a long time. Adding you as a maintainer may make you be Cc'd for new patches so that you can review them. The original maintainer of X.25 network layer (Andrew Hendry) has stopped sending emails to the netdev mail list since 2013. So there is practically no maintainer for X.25 code currently.
