Subject: [PATCH 00/16] MAINTAINERS: Include GDB scripts under their relevant subsystems

Linux has a number of very useful GDB scripts under scripts/gdb/linux/*
that provide OS awareness for debuggers and allows for debugging of a
variety of data structures (lists, timers, radix tree, mapletree, etc.)
as well as subsystems (clocks, devices, classes, busses, etc.).

These scripts are typically maintained in isolation from the subsystem
that they parse the data structures and symbols of, which can lead to
people playing catch up with fixing bugs or updating the script to work
with updates made to the internal APIs/objects etc. Here are some
recents examples:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250601055027.3661480-1-tony.ambardar@gmail.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250619225105.320729-1-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250625021020.1056930-1-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com/

This patch series is intentionally split such that each subsystem
maintainer can decide whether to accept the extra
review/maintenance/guidance that can be offered when GDB scripts are
being updated or added.

Thanks!
