Of course there is a way to add yourself as a maintainer for a specific
.c file...  Maybe people feel like MAINTAINERS is too crowded?

We could update get_maintainer.pl to grep the .c files for a specific
tag instead of putting everything in a centralized MAINTAINERS file.
But it doesn't make sense to try store that information MY BRAIN!  I
can't remember anything from one minute to the next so I have no idea
who maintains media submodules...
