This patch adds a maintainer for the input multitouch (MT) protocol,
such that get_maintainer.pl selects it whenever an MT event is present
in the patch.
+MULTITOUCH INPUT MT PROTOCOL
+M:	Henrik Rydberg [off-list ref]
+L:	linux-input@vger.kernel.org
+S:	Maintained
+F:	Documentation/input/multi-touch-protocol.txt
+K:	ABS_MT

That doesn't seem to match anything other than multitouch
stuff, but it's probably best to specify the pattern as
much as possible.
If you didn't know, K: entries can be entered as perl regex,
so maybe something like:
K:	\b(ABS|SYN)_MT_

Thanks for the info. However, since every application using the MT protocol by
necessity uses at least one event called ABS_MT*, it should be fine as is,
shouldn't it?

Maybe.  The leading \b and trailing _ are just attempts to
avoid potential clashes with future stuff.
