[PATCH v2 1/1] MAINTAINERS: mark HPFS as orphaned

From: Breno Rodrigues Alves

Date: Fri Oct 23 2026 - 19:30:28 EST


HPFS has had no active maintenance for a long time. Mikulas Patocka,
who is listed as the maintainer, has confirmed that he uses HPFS only
for personal data shared with OS/2 and is not actively maintaining the
code. The only changes to fs/hpfs/ in recent years are drive-by
cleanups, not functional fixes.

Mark the filesystem as orphaned so that patches are routed to the
linux-fsdevel mailing list, and drop the stale maintainer and website
entries.

The driver remains in the tree. A future removal can be proposed if
no new maintainer or additional users step up.
