In that case, I suggest we do this:
MAPLE TREE
M: Liam R. Howlett <Liam.Howlett at oracle.com>
+R: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl at google.com>
+R: Andrew Ballance <andrewjballance at gmail.com>
L: maple-tree at lists.infradead.org
L: linux-mm at kvack.org
S: Supported
F: Documentation/core-api/maple_tree.rst
F: include/linux/maple_tree.h
F: include/trace/events/maple_tree.h
F: lib/maple_tree.c
F: lib/test_maple_tree.c
+F: rust/helpers/maple_tree.c
+F: rust/kernel/maple_tree.rs
F: tools/testing/radix-tree/maple.c
F: tools/testing/shared/linux/maple_tree.h
Optionally we could add (RUST) similar to the LOCKING PRIMITIVES
maintainers entry.
Thoughts?
Alice
