From 22b174f8b7daf59f01b7b76e95c14edf41bf45fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Grant Likely Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 00:40:48 -0600 Subject: MAINTAINERS: Saying goodbye to David Brownell We had to say goodbye when David passed away recently. David had a huge impact on our community, both personally in the lives of the people he worked with, and technically in the design and maintenance of several subsystems. He is greatly missed. He also leaves behind a number of much loved subsystems now orphaned. This patch updates the MAINTAINERS file for the areas that David was responsible for and adds an entry for him to the CREDITS file.
