This text should be added to MAINTAINERS.
I'm basing this update on my observations on how things currently
work today.
If you think your name should be on something and it's not, don't
read anything
into it and just correct me :-)

Hello Anthony,
I feel responsible for any file with "Copyright (c) 20xx Stefan Weil"
in the header.
Yeah, I'm thinking of converting to a Linux style maintainers that's
more conducive to fine-grain info. Again, my intention is for people
who are looking to ask for help or patch review for a particular piece
of code so having more granularity is a good thing.
Maybe a general remark like this would be good:
For individual files, there is usually a copyright owner mentioned in
the file's header.
It's very often that the original copyright holder is no longer involved
in the project. Hence the need for something beyond the copyright
header in the first place.
In most cases, this person also maintains this file.
(or anything similar)
For people who don't know what "Main loop" (and the other topics) is
and also
for automated parsing (matching of files to maintainers like it is
done by the linux kernel)
additional path or filename entries would be helpful in a future version.
Yes, hence the desire to move to a Linux style format.
Regards,
Anthony Liguori
Regards
Stefan
