Something like this?

 S:     Maintained
 F:     drivers/net/usb/hso.c
 
+HSR NETWORK PROTOCOL
+M:     Arvid Brodin <arvid.brodin@xdin.com>
+L:     netdev@vger.kernel.org
+S:     Maintained
+F:     net/hsr/*
+
 HTCPEN TOUCHSCREEN DRIVER
 M:     Pau Oliva Fora <pof@eslack.org>
 L:     linux-input@vger.kernel.org

This would indicate that people should CC me when they send patches or find bugs, 
and that I should review the patch within a couple of weeks and get back to the
sender and the list with my comments, right? Just making sure I understand what 
would be expected of me.

And where should the MAINTAINERS patch go - to netdev or to lkml?
