"what's a subsystem"? I'm not sure there is an appropriate definition.

I'd still be happy if MAINTAINERS went away. I'm not sure what good it does other than have a link to mailing lists that otherwise might not be CC'd on patches. > thoughts? For user submission of bug reports, perhaps it'd be more useful to have a submitkernelbugreport script and a network enabled "dispatch bug report" to appropriate maintainers service. Try something out and see what happens. Good luck.
