Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] MTD maintenance updates

Hello all,

I'm taking up where Ezequiel left off on updating MAINTAINERS for MTD [1], with the following changes:

1. Get things in alphabetical order.

2. I think I will be generally helping with all of MTD here, so rather than adding a new entry for NAND, just stick me under David Woodhouse. Of course, this doesn't quite make me an expert on all areas...

The second patch is just a trivial modification to Ezequiel's 2nd patch.

I agree with Ezequiel's suggestion, that we can assign driver maintainers for ones that have a particular sense of ownership (e.g., a driver's author, or a heavily-contributing developer for a driver), and I think this falls in line with existing practice throughout the kernel. However, this isn't strictly necessary; for some developers, de facto maintainership can suffice, with no official role, and get_maintainers.pl pulls suggestions from recent contribution history in git anyway. So I won't personally push hard for assigning many driver maintainers.

BTW, I'd like to get David's "ack" for these patches, and it'd be nice to hear from Artem too, since he has previously been an unofficial maintainer (and is understandably distracted by non-MTD work these days).

Brian
