Frequent non-maintainer contributors need to have their patches
reviewed, no matter if they're write-only or not.  To improve this we
could have more maintainers beyond the one who hosts the tree.  Listing
them in MAINTAINERS gets them automatically CCed in patches.  It's just
too easy to get lost in the mailing list otherwise.

Then, some areas are considerably busier than others, and the block
layer is particularly hard in this regard.  Stefan is helping a lot
reviewing, I should do the same.
