Darrick, I suppose just one thing then, using M for Testing Lead seems likely to implicate the 'Testing Lead' getting Cc'd on every single new patch. As much as I could help review, I don't think I can commit to that, and I think that's the point of the current split. To let us split roles to help scale stuff. So how about a separate new prefix, TL: ? Adding Linus in case he has a stronger preference to only keep us at one character fist index on MAINTAINERS. Luis
