Just in case: I am not sure what "rust people" means here, but if you
meant the Rust subsystem, then it is not the case. Maintenance depends
on what the subsystem wants to do (including how to handle patches,
but also the actual maintenance), who steps up to maintain it, whether
the subsystem wants new co-maintainers or sub-maintainers, etc.

That is why the cover letter asks about the `MAINTAINERS` file.

I hope that clarifies.

Cheers,
