Hi all, As you may have gathered from the MAINTAINERS patch I just sent out, I have resigned from my position at Red Hat, and will be stepping back from nouveau development. This is a personal decision that I've been mulling over for a number of years now, and I feel that with GSP-RM greatly simplifying support of future HW, and the community being built around NVK, that things are in good hands and this is the right time for me to take some time away to explore other avenues. I still have a personal system with an RTX 4070, which I've been using the nouveau GSP-RM code on for the past couple of weeks, so chances are I'll be poking my nose in every so often :) I wish everyone the best, and look forward to seeing the progress you all make on nouveau in the future. Happy hacking! Ben.

I just wanted to express my deepest thanks for everything you have done, against all odds! You are right that now is the perfect time for the relieving of the guard, as Nouveau is entering a new era and is about to look very different. Thanks for getting us there! Enjoy your well-deserved change of scenery, and I wish you luck wherever life will bring you next! Hopefully, we'll get to meet once more! Cheers, Martin
