[re-casting the net narrower for this specific reply, don't
reply-all to this if you prefer the wider net]

Note that Chris Wright (and virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) are
still listed as a maintainer (and as a list) for "XEN HYPERVISOR
INTERFACE" in the latest kernel MAINTAINERS file.  As a
result, sfr included them on his "request for positive
reply" list in the below message.

Jeremy, as the "other" maintainer, perhaps you should
submit a patch in the 2.6.37 window to fix this (and
also your email address)?  And should xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
be the correct email for the remaining list (even though
xensource.com still works)?
