Heh, good point, but using get_maintainer.pl does put me at the top of
the list that you should be cc:ing:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --file include/linux/sysfs.h
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:3/3=100%,authored:2/3=67%,added_lines:7/8=88%)
Kate Stewart <kstewart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:1/3=33%)
Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:1/3=33%)
Philippe Ombredanne <pombredanne@xxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:1/3=33%)
Nick Desaulniers <nick.desaulniers@xxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:1/3=33%,authored:1/3=33%,added_lines:1/8=12%,removed_lines:1/1=100%)
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)

Anyway, I'll go add sysfs.h to the list, thanks for pointing it out.
