Nothing is odd - I use get_maintainers.pl which just don't print your
names. I can add your addresses manually, no problem, but don't blame
the contributor that get_maintainers.pl has a missing content-regex. If
you want to be Cced on usage of GPIOs, you need to be sure that
MAINTAINERS file has appropriate pattern.

It does not, there is no single GPIO here. There is a single reset
controller, though, but still multiple GPIOs in DTS.

It does not match the hardware thus I don't know how to implement it in
DTS while keeping the requirement that we are describing hardware, not
OS abstractions.

And how do you solve the reset requirements? The problem is not just to
share GPIO. The problem is to share in a way that devices operate
properly when they assert/deassert reset.

So none of these ideas were posted in previous threads, just because you
were not CCed (except one thread)?

Please implement some custom lei filter, so you will get such
notifications earlier. We keep discussing this for many months on
various attempts and this specific attempt already reached v6.
