I agree. And if a subset of files needs a separate set of maintainers or reviewers, it doesn't seem excessive to split it into a separate MAINTAINERS entry. For instance, if you want kernel/sched/rt.c to have an additional set of maintainers/reviewers, just add a MAINTAINERS entry for "SCHEDULER - REALTIME" with an appropriate "F:" line. - Josh Triplett -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
