I retract my earlier statement.

Some background: I was really hoping that scripts/get_maintainers.pl
patch, which adds fetching emails from files (e.g. DTS), will be picked
up, but it has been few years, few resends and there is no conclusion. I
don't think it will be ever merged, thus this email.

Since C files do not have in-file "maintainer" entry and particular
drivers have MAINTAINERS-file entries, then why DTS should be different?

I'll take the patch after merge window.

+Cc few other folks,

I understand that with lei/lore filters one can easily track patches
sent for particular boards or SoCs, but being listed in MAINTAINERS have
a bit bigger meaning. Therefore if any of you consider / want to add
themself to MAINTAINERS for particular DTS, then go ahead. By DTS I
mean: particular boards (e.g. Galaxy Tab 3 family) or particular SoC
(e.g. Exynos850 like here).

Best regards,
Krzysztof
