[PATCH v2] MAINTAINERS: add MM MISC section, add missing files to MISC and CORE
From: Lorenzo Stoakes
Date: Wed Jul 23 2025 - 05:59:00 EST
Add a MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MISC section to contain files that are not described
by other sections, moving all but the catch-all mm/ and tools/mm/ from MEMORY
MANAGEMENT to MEMORY MANAGEMENT - CORE and MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MISC as
appropriate.
In both sections add remaining missing files. At this point, with the other
recent MAINTAINERS changes, this should now mean that every memory
management-related file has a section and assigned maintainers/reviewers.
Finally, we copy across the maintainers/reviewers from MEMORY MANAGEMENT -
CORE to MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MISC, as it seems the two are sufficiently
related for this to be sensible.

v2:
* Propagate ack (thanks Mike!)
* Retain MEMORY MANAGEMENT section to contain the global mm/ and tools/mm/
directories and remove from MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MISC section, I misunderstood
how these catch-alls would work. As reported by Vlastimil.
* Update cover letter and subject to reflect the above.
v1:
