SCSI uses scsi: <driver>: for drivers but not every driver has a MAINTAINERS entry. We use either scsi: or scsi: core: for mid layer things, but we're not consistent. Block uses blk-<something>: for all of it's stuff but almost no <somtehing>s have a MAINTAINERS entry. So the next thing you're going to cause is an explosion of suggested MAINTAINERs entries. Has anyone actually complained about treewide:? James
