I suggest not going overboard with R entries.
If there are more than 1 or 2, create a mailing list.

And more entries will just make the churn and name-decay
in MAINTAINERS that much more prevalent.

None of those people have any significant
quantities of commit entries for rcu

(with the get_maintainer patch posted)

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f kernel/rcu/ --git --git-min-percent=3
