As you're a MAINTAINER of this section, if you want it to
be a good entry, it's a good entry.

You should get someone (Andrew?) to apply it.

Be aware that N: matches aren't as "owned" as F: matches.

Note from MAINTAINERS:
	N: Files and directories with regex patterns.
	   One pattern per line.  Multiple N: lines acceptable.
	   scripts/get_maintainer.pl has different behavior for files that
	   match F: pattern and matches of N: patterns.  By default,
	   get_maintainer will not look at git log history when an F: pattern
	   match occurs.  When an N: match occurs, git log history is used
	   to also notify the people that have git commit signatures.
