Ok, that's fine, we can split it out like that if you want.  When I put 
the list together, ajax suggested that you might be the most 
appropriate person to list as ATI maintainer, but it sounds like no one 
really wants take full responsibility for radeon given how much trouble 
it is...

Cool, sounds good.  You may as well put your name there then; you can 
always pass it off if someone else decides they'd like to own it 
instead.

Ok, I can dig up that info and fixup the list.

Wasn't sure--I know David is pretty busy and I didn't want to volunteer 
him without talking to him first.  He'd probably also be the best 
choice for Linux/sparc maintainer.

Can you go ahead and update the file in CVS to reflect the stuff you 
wanted to own (and maybe add Thomas for sis and sisusb)?  If not, I can 
do it, but I probably won't get to it until tomorrow night...

Thanks,
Jesse
