I really hate having a "alias" as a maintainer, and not a "real" name.
Kernel development is done by individuals, we don't have companies as
authors or signed-off-by lines, we have developers.
So I will not accept this, sorry. Please find a real person who is
willing to maintain this code, or just mark it unsupported.
thanks,

OK, fair enough, we'll find a real name to attach here.
Thanks,

It's definitely better to have a person's name there but
there are many company exploders/aliases in MAINTAINERS.
There already is a pv-drivers@vmware.com too.

Yeah, and in every case I've ever had to deal with one, it's never
worked. People are maintainers, not email aliases.
