I am the author of dwmac-loongson. The patch set was merged several
months ago. For a long time hereafter, I don't wish stmmac to remain
in an orphan state perpetually. Therefore, if no one is willing to
assume the role of the maintainer, I would like to be responsible for
the subsequent maintenance of stmmac. Meanwhile, Huacai is willing to
become a reviewer.

About myself, I submitted my first kernel patch on January 4th, 2021.
I was still reviewing new patches last week, and I will remain active
on the mailing list in the future.

Hi Yanteng

Thanks for volunteering for this. Your experience adding loongson
support will be useful here. But with a driver of this complexity, and
the number of different vendors using it, i think it would be good if
you first established a good reputation for doing the work before we
add you to the Maintainers. There are a number of stmmac patches on
the list at the moment, please actually do the job of being a
Maintainer and spend some time review them.

A Synopsis engineer has also said he would start doing Maintainer
work. Hopefully in the end we can add you both to MAINTAINERS.

	Andrew
