I tried a couple of things to reinvigorate the stmmac maintainers
over the last few years but with little effect. The maintainers
are not active, let the MAINTAINERS file reflect reality.
The Synopsys IP this driver supports is very popular we need
a solid maintainer to deal with the complexity of the driver.

We could add an entry to AUTHORS, but a quick git log doesn't show
huge number of patches or LoC. I could be looking wrong..

Unfortunately no time to ramp up on it and driver has changed 
significantly since I worked on it. Hoping someone will raise their hand
to take this activity.
