[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add vm.rst to memory management core

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add vm.rst to memory management core

[Brian Masney]

The vm.rst file is currently not listed in the MAINTAINERS file, so
let's go ahead and add to the MM core subsystem so that the maintainers
are CCed when changes to the documentation are proposed.

Seems reasonable to me, so:

Makes sense to me.

Probably out of the scope of this patch, but would it make sense to also rename
it to mm.rst, like we replaced many 'vm' parts of file names to 'mm', e.g.,
commit ee65728e103b ("docs: rename Documentation/vm to Documentation/mm") in
future?

Reading above again, I think I wrote it in a confusing way, sorry.

I mean, it is "definitely" out of the scope of this patch.  I'm not asking
Brian to do such renaming.  I'm just loudly wondering if such renaming is
somewhat worthy to do in future.


Thanks,
SJ
