I am happy to implement in get_maintainers whatever is decided. At the moment there is one kind of fallback: (i) `THE REST' gets CCd iff no file pointed to any other maintainer What you may be proposing is a subtly different kind of fallback: (ii) `REST OF THE HYPERVISOR' gets CCd iff the patch touches any files in xen/ which do not have another maintainer The difference is apparent in patches which touch both more specific and less specific items. Alternatively maybe you are proposing that we should have two hierarchical fallbacks: `REST OF THE HYPERVISOR' gets CCd if any file is in xen/ is touched but is skipped BUT only if no file pointed to another maintainer.
