Doubtful that improves things. At least the --git-fallback option shows who modified or got patches accepted to files that are nominally unmaintained. It also shows the upstream path for those files via Signed-off-by: lines so I think --git-fallback is generally a good mechanism and control flag for directly unmaintained files. > What ever happened to splitting up MAINTAINERS to subdirectories? That > would help routing MAINTAINERS changes to the right maintainers. Splitting MAINTAINERS into subdirectories would do nothing to route patches. It would just be convenience to reduce the total number of changes to a single file. Those large number of changes to the single MAINTAINERS file very rarely have any conflicts either, so it wouldn't really change the overall number of changes to MAINTAINERS entries spread around the tree. You are be welcome to try to split the file and get Linus to accept it. I gave it a go. Try yourself. https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/817857/
