Mar 1, 2026

March 2026 — flipperdevices/u-boot: key feature delivered was governance update in MAINTAINERS to assign Takahiro Kuwano as SPI NOR reviewer as Tudor Ambarus steps down, ensuring governance continuity and preventing review bottlenecks. The change is captured in a single commit (8ee2e262d13eca993a1ee553d802bdaf765296be) with sign-off by Takahiro Kuwano and acked-by Tudor Ambarus. No major bugs fixed this month in this repository. Impact: preserves review cadence for SPI NOR, reduces risk of unreviewed changes affecting shipping, and supports ongoing development without interruption. Technologies/skills demonstrated: governance policy enforcement, Git signing-off, cross-team collaboration, code-review process adherence, maintainers workflow.
