Easier said than done. MAINTAINERS has more than 100 sections, yet it leaves more than 1200 files uncovered, roughly half of them C sources. I doubt splitting mechanically along those sections plus a catch-all patch for the "unmaintained" files would be appreciated. Could you give some guidance on splitting?
