I'm afraid I can't help there -- I don't often dabble in core kernel stuff.
I didn't receive any response on my patches to those files, so it's possible
I was CC'ing the wrong people. I did do my best dith git blame/log,
get_maintainer.pl and the rest and posted to lkml a couple of times though.
If I'm reading MAINTAINERS correctly, Michal Marek might be the default
maintainer for stuff in scripts/ not owned by other people... the way that
is described is not understood by get_maintainer.pl, it appears.
Marek, are you the correct person for scripts/mod/file2alias.c and related
stuff?
Cheers
