Please do not use generic aliases as they provide no personal
responsibility.  Just stick with real people.
That makes sense. However, the pv-drivers list is used for keeping managers
and people helping with testing in the loop. So would adding pv-drivers as a
second L: entry be OK?
Is it really a list?  If not, then that would not make much sense.
It is - with VMware subscribers only but anyone can post to it. If the intent of the
L: entries is to allow folks to subscribe to relevant information, then it isn’t
appropriate.

All existing vmw driver maintainer entries have pv-drivers as an M: entry,
so has there been a change in policy regarding this? The approach has
been quite useful for us.
