[U-Boot] [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add me as a maintainer of MTD

Add MAINTAINERS and doc/git-mailrc entry.
Signed-off-by: Heiko Schocher hs@denx.de
--- as discussed this step here and there first of all with Scott Wood for example here: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2014-August/186005.html
I am now ready for taking over the ownership for MTD ...
@Scott: I would be happy, if you can still have a look in nand patches ;-) please inform me, if you have no longer time for it, so we can set u-boot-nand into not maintained state
@all: Please send me a list of pending patches, so I can go through them, thanks!

Is it for entire drivers/mtd ? or any specific parts?

This is meant for all parts of drivers/mtd that are not already covered by other custodians.

I don't know if we have a better notation for "all the rest that is not already covered by somebody else"?

Let's see the last part of the MAINTAINERS:
THE REST M: Tom Rini trini@ti.com L: u-boot@lists.denx.de Q: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/ S: Maintained T: git git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git F: * F: */
This entry does __not__ mean everything is maintained by Tom, but Tom owns all the rest that is not covered by somebody else.
MTD M: Heiko Schocher hs@denx.de S: Maintained T: git git://git.denx.de/u-boot-mtd.git F: drivers/mtd/
I think this makes sense.
Let's study from linux/MAINTAINERS!

BTW, "CFI FLASH" entry is questionable.
CFI FLASH M: Stefan Roese sr@denx.de S: Maintained T: git git://git.denx.de/u-boot-cfi-flash.git F: drivers/mtd/*
Do all the files in drivers/mtd belong to CFI FLASH subsystem?

@Scott: I would be happy, if you can still have a look in nand patches ;-) please inform me, if you have no longer time for it, so we can set u-boot-nand into not maintained state
If you're only looking to be custodian for mtd infrastructure and not NAND, I guess I'll continue to do it... I hope there won't be any more from-scratch updates of the NAND code, though. :-)

I thought separation of mtd is not quite good as it related to all flash stuff, it may find difficulty to reviewer's which in-sync with the mtd maintainer (if separated)
And the drivers/mtd has nor, nand, and sf are the key and all together as MTD subsystem atleast from code point of.
IMHO, why can't we follow a maintainer list as "MEMORY TECHNOLOGY DEVICES (MTD)" which can list a maintainer's who owned the drivers/mtd - I guess this could be a defined way.
thanks!

I thought you mentioned you did not have enough time for this job ... Great to hear, that you will continue! Thanks for your work!

Hopefully not.

Well, I was particularly busy when I said that. :-)
Plus it seemed like there were several others more active in the NAND code than I was.
