If at all possible, I would really love to have this be part of the maintainer profile documentation: https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/156821692280.2951081.18036584954940423225.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com/ ...if we could only (hint...CC'd...) get Dan to resubmit it with the needed tweaks so it could be merged...
