It is common that MAINTAINERS lists per-file (per-driver) maintainers.
It does not necessarily mean a person who picks up patches.

scripts/get_maintainer.pl lists maintainers that
match any F:, N:, K: patterns.
So, both Doc and Kbuild maintainers/ML will still be listed.

Having said that, it is up to you. Either is fine with me.
Another pattern 'K: \b(?i:clang|llvm)\b'  covers this file anyway.


(BTW, I am also happy to see your name as the maintainer of this entry.)


Thanks.
