Do all subsystems have such descriptions?  No, working in staging is no
different from working in any other kernel subsystem.  If you want to
find the location of the latest code, look in the MAINTAINERS file for
the git tree.

There's nothing "special" about drivers/staging, except the quality of
the code...
