My intention with this file is not to establish ownership of code but to 
establish who are the right people to ask about areas of the code base.

So having overlapping listings is not a bad thing.  IOW, think of it not 
as, this is the person who owns this set of files but rather, this 
person is willing to be helpful with this set of files.
