Perhaps a start of this would be something like the below for a new MAINTAINERS entry just for SCSI CORE. This adds an "E:" patch prefix entry as well as a specific file list for what seem to be "scsi core" files so that the generic SCSI SUBSYSTEM F:drivers/scsi/ entry does not have to be used. The SCSI SUBSYSTEM could have an E: entry of "scsi:" so that driver specific content could be automatically prefixed with "scsi: <basename(dirname)>: --- MAINTAINERS | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 5f10105cac6f..68521abd1bd8 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -15631,6 +15631,24 @@ S: Maintained W: http://www.kernel.dk F: drivers/scsi/sr* +SCSI CORE +M: "James E.J.
