Trivia...

MAINTAINERS pattern matching in get_maintainer uses

directory/ to match all files and files in subdirectories
directory/* to match only the files in the directory
but no files in any subdirectory

This should probably be kernel/events/ so any
future subdirectory files are also included.

There is no effective difference today because
no subdirectories of kernel/event/ exist.
