Ah, thanks.

Those files change slowly and generally without conflicts
so MAINTAINERS entries aren't an issue.

Sorry, no.

There are a couple of examples of multiple maintainers
for wireless drivers in a single directory.

ipw2x00 and rtl818x

ipw2xx has shared files, rtl818x does not.
ipw2xx does not claim a "maintainer" for the
shared files.  That's probably not important.

Maybe the maintainers for ipw2xx might give
some more useful information (cc'd). It turns
out they are the same people though.

As well, the file patterns for rtl818x need
updating.  Thanks for making me check.

cheers, Joe
