Heh, from the 5 entries at maintainer-handbooks.rst: maintainer-netdev maintainer-soc maintainer-soc-clean-dts maintainer-tip maintainer-kvm-x86 we have 3 of them already there at maintainer-entry-profile.rst: $ grep process/ Documentation/maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.rst ../process/maintainer-soc ../process/maintainer-soc-clean-dts ../process/maintainer-netdev It sounds to me that moving maintainer-tip and maintainer-kvm-x86 to maintainer-entry-profile.rst would be enough to drop maintainer-handbooks.rst, keeping them consolidated on a single place.
