Well, I'm not against a company address at all, I myself am employed and
use company address very often. And I really welcome some one to come up
and take the responsibility of some orphaned code. But the first impression
of this, to me, it's more like a Broadcom internal policy to assign someone
or not (maybe some work transition of Leo Chen). And I haven't seen much
contribution from JD so far, honestly, (but doesn't mean I don't believe
he's going to contribute a lot).

Sorry, JD, I was a bit rude on this and this is not personal at all. Nice to
know you actually, bcmring was not actively maintained since last year.
I hope we can know more about you.
