So we could have something like this for your part: F: drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/* X: drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271* Of course this doesn't apply yet, because there is no wl1271* at the moment (hopefully there will be very soon). So, for now I think you could have just the F line. And when I add my maintainer's block there, I can add the X line to your part at the same time... How does that sound? -- Cheers, Luca.
