I was curious when the last substantive patch was.
I think it was 2015:

commit a9889169e5b21efb8c42105fc62461be43968d64
Author: Aleksandar Ristovski <aristovski@qnx.com>
Date:   Wed Oct 21 10:37:33 2015 -0400

    [nto] Fix nto target stopped by watchpoint.

Aleksandar is still listed in MAINTAINERS, so maybe we ought to try to
contact him before going forward?

MAINTAINERS has a lot of obsolete entries.  So probably this doesn't
mean much.  Still, I guess it wouldn't hurt to wait a week or two,
unless this is blocking some other work.

To be clear, I'm in favor of removing things like this, particularly
unmaintained targets and nat- code, as those are more difficult to test
or even compile.
