Sure, just added this:

[acme@quaco perf-tools-next]$ git show
commit 0146244875046fad472a39ffd61ec4f91719b62a (HEAD -> perf-tools-next)
Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed Jul 19 16:53:01 2023 -0300

MAINTAINERS: Add git information for perf-tools and perf-tools-next trees/branches

Now the perf tools development is done on these trees/branches:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools.git perf-tools
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git perf-tools-next

For a while I'll continue mirroring what is these to the same branches
in my git tree.
