Knowing myself I'm sure my entry will get out-of-date. I don't want to update anything other than ./MAINTAINERS. If other maintainers find it useful to keep wiki pages, that's fine. I just won't be doing it because it doesn't work for me. > I have no special preference how the maintainers should be listed in the > wiki, > but I think they should be listed there (not only in MAINTAINERS) because > that > allows links. ./MAINTAINERS allows links too.

Yes, that seems fine - it gives folks a chance to create wiki pages if they like. Stefan
