Auto assignment should definitely _not_ be done. This is an RFC proposal though. Sometimes it's better to not produce an RFC as a patch, but maybe just show a proposed section and ask if is appropriate may be a better style going forward. Maybe just emailing Greg, Stephen, Guenter and Julius (cc'ing LKML) asking something like the below would be better: ---------------------------------------------------- Hey all. Files in drivers/firmware/google/ do not seem to have a listed MAINTAINER. Would a section entry in MAINTAINERS like this be appropriate? GOOGLE FIRMWARE M: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> M: Stephen Boyd <swboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxx> R: Guenter Roeck <groeck@xxxxxxxxxxxx> R: Julius Werner <jwerner@xxxxxxxxxxxx> S: Maintained F: drivers/firmware/google/ Is there a git tree somewhere that should be added? What would be the status of this proposed section? Does someone really look after it at all?
