Here let me recommend the ant work approach I'm doing for MIPS. Instead of dropping ISA extensions, I'm splitting them in various compile units, that way 1/ we can chose to build without them and 2/ sub-maintainers can maintain them separately. Having a finer grained MAINTAINERS entries allow to filter-out/in and reduce reviewers pressure.
