Mauro's patch series [off-list ref]
("[PATCH 00/44] Manually convert filesystem FS documents to ReST")
converts many Documentation/filesystems/ files to ReST.

Since then, ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --self-test complains with 27
warnings on Documentation/filesystems/ of this kind:

  warning: no file matches F: Documentation/filesystems/...

Adjust MAINTAINERS entries to all files converted from .txt to .rst in the
patch series and address the 27 warnings.

Mauro, please ack.
Jonathan, pick pick this patch for doc-next.  
Sigh, I need to work a MAINTAINERS check into my workflow...

Thanks for fixing these, but ... what tree did you generate the patch
against?  I doesn't come close to applying to docs-next.
I'm starting to suspect that maybe the best workflow would be to just 
apply the patches at docs-next keeping links broken, and then run
./scripts/documentation-file-ref-check --fix by the end of a merge
window, addressing such breakages.

There are usually lots of churn outside the merge window.

Another alternative would be to split the MAINTAINERS file on a
per-subsystem basis. If I remember well, someone proposed this once at
LKML. I vaguely remember that there were even a patch (or RFC)
adding support for such thing for get_maintainers.pl.

Thanks,
Mauro
