the fact that the connector code is maintained in the net tree is not
mentioned anywhere that i can see.  it isnt in net/, it isnt in
drivers/net/, and it isnt in MAINTAINERS.  that means anyone who
wishes to submit patches has to basically guess where to send them.
going by the default rules, that means the author (Evgeniy) and LKML.
expecting people to magically divine net ownership with this driver is
ridiculous.
