If at all possible, I would really love to have this be part of the
maintainer profile documentation:

	https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/156821692280.2951081.18036584954940423225.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com/

...if we could only (hint...CC'd...) get Dan to resubmit it with the
needed tweaks so it could be merged...

Thanks,
