Drop Felix from Mediatek Ethernet driver maintainers.
We haven't seen any tags since the initial submission.

Not adding a CREDITS entry because summarizing Felix's
contributions as "initial Mediatek MT7623 driver" is
really selling it short. And Felix is not gone, so he
can write his own description :P

I think your script is broken as there are multiple subdirectories
for this entry and Felix is active.

For instance:

commit 9716ef046b46a6426b2a11301ea5232fc8cdce63
Author: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name>
Date:   Sat Nov 21 18:23:35 2020 +0100

    mt76: attempt to free up more room when filling the tx queue
    
    Run dma cleanup immediately if the queue is almost full, instead of waiting
    for the tx interrupt

Quite the opposite, the script intentionally only counts contributions
only to the code under the MAINTAINERS entry. People lose interest and
move on to working on other parts of the kernel (or maybe were never
that interested in maintaining something in the first place?). 

We want to list folks who are likely to give us reviews.

Which I tried to state in the commit message as well :)

My mistake.  I'd seen Felix's name fairly often.

I ran this command:

$ git log --pretty=oneline --since=5-years-ago --grep="-by: Felix Fietkau" drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/
656e705243fd0c2864b89634ea16ed444ef64dc6 net-next: mediatek: add support for MT7623 ethernet

Saw that felix had worked on mediatek and then looked up files in
drivers/net with mediatek and conflated the wireless files and ethernet files.

btw: because I didn't see the script published and so can't verify what's
being done here, the MAINTAINERS file shows:

	F: *Files* and directories wildcard patterns.
	   A trailing slash includes all files and subdirectory files.
	   F:	drivers/net/	all files in and below drivers/net
	   F:	drivers/net/*	all files in drivers/net, but not below

cheers, Joe

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm going to submit a bunch of work on
this driver in the near future.
The patches have already been written, just need a bit more time for
testing/review.

Great, I'll drop this patch from the series. 

Thanks!
