None of us have time for this, hence why I think putting us all in one entry with all of the files listed there makes the most sense; then people do whatever they can and try to help each other out based on how much time they have. I think that's much better than fine-grained maintainership where a given file has a single point of failure. So I think it should include: tools/perf/arch/arm64/ tools/pmu-events/arch/arm64/ along with the SPE and Coresight files. Arnaldo would still handle the patches, so this is really about giving us a chance to review incoming patches without having to fish them out from the lists. Will
