I think we have to choose one maintainer for the shared files (= you! 
;).  So we could have something like this for your part:

F:   drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/*
X:   drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271*

Of course this doesn't apply yet, because there is no wl1271* at the 
moment (hopefully there will be very soon).  So, for now I think you 
could have just the F line.  And when I add my maintainer's block there, 
I can add the X line to your part at the same time... How does that sound?
