"what's a subsystem"?
I'm not sure there is an appropriate definition.
If there is an appropriate definition, why
should anyone care what subsystem a particular
file is in?

Until I can pass a patch or source file as an argument to a script and get out the URL of the git tree it needs to go into on the path to Linus's tree, MAINTAINERS is inadequate. If I ask for the MAINTAINER info of drivers/net/atl1/atl1_main.c, I should get back myself, my co-maintainer, our sourceforge URL, our mailing list address, etc. There should also be a mechanism, either as part of MAINTAINERS or something else, that will tell me that atl1 is part of the netdev subsystem, which is discussed on [EMAIL PROTECTED], maintained by Jeff Garzik, and has the appropriate URI for the netdev GIT tree.
