I would like to also use this for SCHED and PERF, but since both are rather big I would like to be able to subdivide things. Now I could of course go create many MAINTAINER sections, but that feels artificial. So I would like to be able to write: SCHEDULER: ... R: Steven Rostedt (kernel/sched/rt.c) R: Juri Lelli (kernel/sched/deadline.c) or something like that. And here I've already done concessions in that the above is machine readable. Ideally I'd be able to say things like: 'for sched and numa related things' add 'rik and mel'. Hmm, maybe we can look at the patch subject tag like: sched/numa or sched/rt or sched/deadline etc.. instead of the files touched.
