On that note, it would be helpful for folks to step up and take on
maintainership of certain parts of the code. We often get patches for
programmer X or mainboard Y, but without intimate knowledge of X or Y it
can be difficult to review patches, and testing is often not possible due
to the wide variety of hardware supported.

Maybe we should add a MAINTAINERS file or a wiki where people can volunteer
based on their area of expertise - General infrastructure, Bus Pirate,
Arduino, Intel platforms, Thinkpad issues, BSD/DOS/Windows support, etc.
That will help triage patches and issues and get the right people looking
at them.
