Yes and odd, accordingly to documentation:
"Descriptions of section entries:
...
M: Mail patches to: FullName <address@domain>
...
S: Status, one of the following:
...
Maintained: Someone actually looks after it.
..."
(subsection = section entry).
The status is applied to the section, but person. We discussed this with
Joe in previous messages.

In current design of the MAINTAINERS database I don't see other way to
apply "watch for the changes to the specific driver" condition.

Define the "MAJOR" (rhetorical) :-)
