There are a number of means of interacting with VMA operations within mm,
and we have on occasion not been made aware of impactful changes due to
these sitting in different files, most recently in [0].

Correct this by bringing all VMA operations under the same section in
MAINTAINERS. Additionally take the opportunity to combine MEMORY MAPPING
with VMA as there needn't be two entries as they amount to the same thing.

Not sure about mprotect.c, mlock.c and madvise.c, though. I'd claim that the real "magic" they perform is in page table handling and not primarily VMA handling (yes, both do VMA changes, but they are the "easy" part ;) ).

They have much more in common with memory.c, which I wouldn't want to see in here either. Hm.
