+List of maintainers
+===================
+
+Descriptions of section entries and preferred order
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+ M: *Mail* patches to: FullName <address@domain>
+ R: Designated *Reviewer*: FullName <address@domain>
+ These reviewers should be CCed on patches.
+ L: *Mailing list* that is relevant to this area
+ S: *Status*, one of the following:
+ Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this.
+ Maintained: Someone actually looks after it.
+ Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do
+ much other than throw the odd patch in. See below..
+ Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
+ role as you write your new code].
+ Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means
+ it has been replaced by a better system and you
+ should be using that.
+ W: *Web-page* with status/info
+ Q: *Patchwork* web based patch tracking system site
+ B: URI for where to file *bugs*. A web-page with detailed bug
+ filing info, a direct bug tracker link, or a mailto: URI.
+ C: URI for *chat* protocol, server and channel where developers
+ usually hang out, for example irc://server/channel.
+ P: *Subsystem Profile* document for more details submitting
+ patches to the given subsystem. This is either an in-tree file,
+ or a URI. See Documentation/maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.rst
+ for details.
+ T: *SCM* tree type and location.
+ Type is one of: git, hg, quilt, stgit, topgit
+ F: *Files* and directories wildcard patterns.
+ A trailing slash includes all files and subdirectory files.
+ F: drivers/net/ all files in and below drivers/net
+ F: drivers/net/* all files in drivers/net, but not below
+ F: */net/* all files in "any top level directory"/net
+ One pattern per line. Multiple F: lines acceptable.
+ X: *Excluded* files and directories that are NOT maintained, same
+ rules as F:. Files exclusions are tested before file matches.
+ Can be useful for excluding a specific subdirectory, for instance:
+ F: net/
+ X: net/ipv6/
+ matches all files in and below net excluding net/ipv6/
+ N: Files and directories *Regex* patterns.
+ N: [^a-z]tegra all files whose path contains tegra
+ (not including files like integrator)
+ One pattern per line. Multiple N: lines acceptable.
+ scripts/get_maintainer.pl has different behavior for files that
+ match F: pattern and matches of N: patterns. By default,
+ get_maintainer will not look at git log history when an F: pattern
+ match occurs. When an N: match occurs, git log history is used
+ to also notify the people that have git commit signatures.
+ K: *Content regex* (perl extended) pattern match in a patch or file.
+ For instance:
+ K: of_get_profile
+ matches patches or files that contain "of_get_profile"
+ K: \b(printk|pr_(info|err))\b
+ matches patches or files that contain one or more of the words
+ printk, pr_info or pr_err
+ One regex pattern per line. Multiple K: lines acceptable.
