Starting last month, I reached a long-time goal: man-pages finally has a
paid, full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux
Foundation. It's still a little unclear how long the LF money will last
for the fellowship, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on:
* Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API,
and every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally
before actual release. (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a
backlog, so I'm not going to achieve the ideal immediately.)
* Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the
mainline kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at
it (e.g., the recent utimensat() work).
* Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done
before they are released into the mainline kernel.
* And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for
existing man pages.

This updates the MAINTAINERS entries for powerpc. It adds Ben H to
the overall Linux for PowerPC entry and makes it clear this covers
both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. It removes the separate entry we had
for Linux on 64-bit PowerPC where Anton and I were listed as
maintainers - Anton hasn't been involved in the day-to-day maintenance
of the code for several years. Finally, it removes the entry for the
Linux for PowerPC boot code where Tom Rini was listed as the
maintainer. That code got completely rewritten when we merged
32-bit and 64-bit, and I and the various platform maintainers have
been maintaining that code since.
