flashrom maintainers

[Anastasia Klimchuk]

Hello People,

We just got a flashrom’s own MAINTAINERS file! I wanted to share the
news with everyone.
https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom/blob/master/MAINTAINERS

There is a script which will automatically add people as reviewers to
the patch, if the patch is touching the files/area they are
“registered” for. This makes sure patches are not lost and also
answers the question “who are the best reviewers for this patch?”
Anyone else can join any code review (as usual, as it was before), but
the people from the file will be added automatically.

Is anyone interested in being a maintainer/reviewer? Maybe you know
some specific area well, and/or maybe you don’t want to miss when a
patch comes along and touches that area.
“Area” can be just one programmer that you know well, and you can take
it with “Odd Fixes” status - this is the smallest possible commitment,
but still will be very useful for flashrom.

Any area can have multiple maintainers.

Also, MAINTAINERS file have some content already, but you can of
course join the existing category if you are interested.

What to do if you are interested? You can reply to this thread or just
send a patch.

I have some thoughts on what categories/areas we can have, but that’s
my initial suggestion, it is not a complete list and everyone’s ideas
are welcome.

Many thanks!

# Programmers

In general, one programmer can be a category by itself. Some others
can be grouped (for example we have an i2c group with 3 items).

# Libflashrom (can be sub-category of Core)

libflashrom*
include/libflashrom*

# Documentation

Doxyfile
README
flashrom.8.tmpl

# Core

Flashrom.c
Layout.c
Jedec.c
Opaque.c
Spi.c
Programmer.c
Programmer_table.c
Spi25.c
Spi25_statusreg.c
Spi95.c
… and more files here, and headers

One file, but it has a constant stream of patches. Would be great to
have someone keeping an eye on it.
