[PATCH 1/1] MAINTAINERS: Add maintainers for Media Controller

[PATCH 1/1] MAINTAINERS: Add maintainers for Media Controller

[Sakari Ailus]

When Media Controller was merged to mainline long, long time ago, no-one
bothered to think what its MAINTAINERS entry should be. Now that Media
Controller is moved into its own directory, address this at the same time.

So tell people to mail patches to myself and Laurent Pinchart.

Note that the patches are still merged through the Media tree, just like
any other driver or framework bits that have separate "mail patches to"
entries different from the main drivers/media one.

This patch adds a MAINTAINERS entry for the MC framework and API, as
discussed in this week's weekly meeting.

This will help me catching changes to the media controller, and being
more active on reviews, so I welcome that change.

Ok, but please notice that this is a core part of the subsystem, and
not a driver one.

So, you should be sure that you'll have enough bandwidth to not
get patches accumulated here for no more than a reasonable time
(a couple of weeks).

If both you and Sakari are ok with that, I'll pick it.

Regards,
Mauro

I already do review MC patches (at least as long as I've noticed the
patches myself, I believed a few have slipped past my eyes over the years),
so this isn't really adding to my workload.

So to answer the question, yes, I've prepared to do this.

I think that will be fine, based on the existing development rate for
that code. Of course, if tomorrow 10 developers decide to work full time
on it, I may not be able to follow, but that's hardly specific to MC,
the media subsystem or me.
