[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add printk indexing maintainers on mention of printk_index

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add printk indexing maintainers on mention of printk_index

[Chris Down]

This will primarily catch new and changed printk_index_subsys_emit
calls, but it's also worth catching changes to other printk indexing
infrastructure outside of kernel/printk/index.c.

This avoids churn due to missing ccs when adding new printk indexes, as
was the case recently for the first round of the XFS printk indexing
patches.

Nice trick. I was not aware of that K: entries.

I have pushed the patch into printk/linux.git, branch for-5.19.

We missed the direct 5.18 train. I will add the commit into
a printk pull request for 5.18-rcX if there is any. But I think
that it is not worth creating a pull request just with this change.

I am going to make sure that you are added into CC in the meantime.
I hope that they will add me at least ;-)

Best Regards,
Petr

Sounds good, thank you! :-)
