I have all the changes kept up-to-date.
I still hope to get some variant into a future release.

If one of the maintainers, Vivek Goyal or Haren Myneni, cared
to improve the kdump list of files, I'd happily accept it.
My maintainer entry for kdump is:
KDUMP
P: Vivek Goyal
M: vgoyal@in.ibm.com
P: Haren Myneni
M: hbabu@us.ibm.com
L: kexec@lists.infradead.org
L: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
W: http://lse.sourceforge.net/kdump/
S: Maintained
F: Documentation/kdump
and if Eric Biederman wants to improve kexec:
KEXEC
P: Eric Biederman
M: ebiederm@xmission.com
W: http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/
L: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
L: kexec@lists.infradead.org
S: Maintained

meh. Bug-reporters only manage to cc the right mailing list 10% of the
time even when it's utterly obvious which subsystem went splat. I wouldn't
worry about fine details such as this.
Anyway, everyone just sends stuff to the great kernel routing service (ie:
me) for the traditional forward-and-ignore treatment.

Understood. I'm happy to make a start on that.
Do you have a criteria for including files.
Are they files that only apply to KEXEC/KDUMP,
or files that have KEXEC/KDUMP code and other code?

A file or file pattern specific to a maintained "subsystem".
Any time a subsystem file pattern matches a file,
maintainers would be cc'd. The matching is non-exclusive.
Multiple subsystems can include the same file pattern.
For KDUMP, maybe a file pattern should be:
F: arch/*/kernel/crash_dump.c
F: include/linux/crash_dump.h

I think it should be files specific to KDUMP and not
files shared with other subsystems but perhaps it's
maintainer taste.
If the files patterns are not specific to kdump,
the kdump maintainers will be cc'd on patches that
change files where kdump functions aren't modified.
The list of files that include crash_dump.h is pretty long.
$ grep -P -l -r --include=*.[ch] crash_dump.h *
arch/i386/kernel/crash_dump.c
arch/i386/kernel/setup.c
arch/ia64/hp/common/sba_iommu.c

arch/x86_64/kernel/crash_dump.c
arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c
drivers/char/mem.c
fs/proc/proc_misc.c
fs/proc/vmcore.c
The list of files that use CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is also
pretty long and seemingly unrelated.

arch/i386/kernel/apic.c
arch/i386/kernel/e820.c
