Indeed -- thanks Lyude!

Up to you! :)

I guess it depends on whether the rest of the locking maintainers want
to see every patch related to that (which would be great) or not,
whether you want to have finer-grained control on who gets pinged,
potentially different "M:" level and so on. For instance, it would
allow you to have an explicit "L:" for the Rust for Linux list.

By the way, as a third alternative, you could also consider a
sub-entry in locking, too, i.e. "LOCKING PRIMITIVES [RUST]" as a
middle ground, which would allow you to keep routing patches through
locking but have the benefits of a sub-entry if you need them.

Whatever you decide:
