altering an entry in the MAINTAINERS file which belongs to the three
maintainers of trusted keys, you only need our ack to do that, which
picking up via the trusted key tree will substitute for. It would be
useful to have Sumit review this because he moved the files and there
may be something we missed, but a reviewed-by: is a nice to have and
not a block on the process.
