Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add more people to the MTD maintainer team

Brian has been maintaining the MTD subsystem alone for several years
now, and maintaining such a subsystem can really be time consuming.

Create a maintainer team formed of the most active MTD contributors
to help Brian with this task, which will hopefully improve the
subsystem reactivity.

Hi all,

I'm just trying to summarize what I understood the process would be,
don't hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong.

For each release we will assign a specific MTD maintainer which will be
responsible for taking MTD core patches and pulling spi-nor and nand PRs
into the MTD tree and eventually send one or several PRs to Linus.

For fixes that are submitted after -rc1, I usually ask Brian to apply
them directly into the MTD tree (I don't think there's a real need to
prepare spi-nor and nand PRs for fixes), so we can proceed the same
way: ask the maintainer assigned to this release to also take care of
applying fixes and sending PRs to Linus before each -rc.

If you have other ideas, or would like to proceed differently, don't
hesitate propose them.

Thanks,

Boris
