I've never read that before. Learn something new etc...
It seems path prefixes aren't good nor even commonly used.
A review of kernel patch subjects:
$ git log --no-merges --pretty=oneline | \
cut -f2- -d" " | cut -f1 -d: | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
is interesting. Here's the head:
5007 x86
3943 Staging
3220 USB
2790 sh
2707 KVM
2624 ARM
2449 ALSA
1571 Input
1549 ASoC
1470 iwlwifi
1423 ACPI
1397 mac80211
1384 V4L/DVB
1226 sched
1200 Btrfs
1184 powerpc
1106 [NETFILTER]
1080 MIPS
1049 net
1047 ide
1014 drm/i915
993 staging
921 ath9k
Some subsystem maintainers like upper case, some mixed, some lower.
Some aren't consistent. (Staging/staging)
It doesn't seem a rule can be pregenerated so maybe adding these
"C:" lines to MAINTAINERS has some value.
