Generally the actual maintainer submits a patch
to this file.

Please use a single tab after each :

Hmm, I'd tend to not add this entry. For one thing, the git tag thing
looks silly. The dirty/writeback stuff in general involves both mm/fs,
and I'd like the relevant developers all keep an eye on this :-)
