[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add entry for DOCUMENTATION/JAPANESE

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add entry for DOCUMENTATION/JAPANESE

[Akira Yokosawa]

Due to the lack of an entry for the Japanese translation of
documentation, Kosuke Fujimoto needed to ask the status of
its maintenance [1].

Add an entry for DOCUMENTATION/JAPANESE as a sub-subsystem
under the DOCUMENTATION subsystem to make it easier for
another prospective contributor to know there is someone
who takes care of Japanese translation.

As a first step, install myself as a designated reviewer.
Hopefully, other interested members get accustomed to the
kernel-dev workflow and would get ready to be
(co-)maintainers/reviewers shortly.

Hi Jon,

So this took a little longer than I had originally expected.
Shibata-san says he is not confident enough to be in MAINTAINERS
at the moment, as he has just woken up from several-year
"hibernation"

I'm installing myself in the "R:" field.
I don't think being in "M:" or "R:" matters much in practice,
but I think I'd be better suited as a reviewer.

If there exists such a rule that every entry in MAINTAINERS is
required to have at least one member listed in the "M:" field,
I'm OK with filling the role.  Thoughts?

        Thanks, Akira

I've applied this, thanks.

No, reviewer-only entries are fine.

Thanks,
