It seems that Dave takes over the act of maintainer after Ian.=20

Is it right?

I do not know. Occasionally people unrelated to the driver may do some
maintenance.=20

Do you have any idea of who is the current maintainer?

I don't. It seems like you work for XGI Technology Inc, and the video
driver is for their GPU products. You might be the best person to find
out.

BTW, do you know who have the authority to assign maintainer or what is
the process of assigning a maintainer for specific driver? We might need
to contact the right person to get permission to check in the big patch.
Please comment. Thanks a lot.

I am a developer with commit privilege as I do regular maintenance on
the GNU build system. X.Org does not assign maintainers as it does not
have any employee. Who ever needs a particular driver supplies the
maintainer which may be an employee of XGI Technology Inc or a volunteer
from the it's users community.=20

Hi Gaetan, 
 
It would be a problem to divide the big patch into small ones because of =
big
features such as EXA support. The individual feature of EXA support is =
still a
big patch. 
 
As I know, Ian was the maintainer of XGI driver by 5/2008 but he =
hasn&#8217;t
been in charge of it for a long time.
