If being an employee of a company is a criteria for maintainership
of this subsystem, likely the subsystem entry should be:

"S:	Supported" not "S:	Maintained"

MAINTAINERS:VMWARE VMCI DRIVER
MAINTAINERS-M:  Bryan Tan <bryantan@xxxxxxxxxx>
MAINTAINERS-M:  Rajesh Jalisatgi <rjalisatgi@xxxxxxxxxx>

MAINTAINERS-R:  VMware PV-Drivers Reviewers <pv-drivers@xxxxxxxxxx>
MAINTAINERS-L:  linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
MAINTAINERS-S:  Maintained

Likely that's true for every VMware entry.
