Hi Vishal,

I personally look at 'git blame' or 'git log' manually and see who's
been mucking around in the file recently. get_maintainers.pl does _some_
of that, but I think it mostly looks at others who modified the sames
lines you did. That can be a bit too restrictive.

It also couldn't hurt to take a quick look at lore for who's been
patching the files that you are, or commenting in threads.

The more of that which you can manage to do this now is less of it that
I have to do later. Any effort in the area would be much appreciated!

Oh, and if you have a friendly LLM, it doesn't hurt to dump your patches
in there and ask it. Couldn't hurt.
