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.

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
