Hi Julien, Can you remove Rasesh and Shahed from the maintainer list and send updated patch with only 
your name as maintainer.

Thanks,
Alok
 

[PATCH v2] net/bnx2x : offer maintainership for bnx2x

[Julien Aube]

This is an offer to maintain the code for bnx2x-based
cards. It may not be possible on the long run due to
the old design of this chipset.

Note that I'm not affiliated with LSI nor Broadcom and
do not have access to documentation or other NDA-based
code.
