There are several ways subsystems have gone about it:

  - Sometimes they may just add the people to the existing entry.

  - Sometimes they create sub-entries like you suggest (usually with
square brackets like " [RUST]" but there is also a " - RUST" used),
e.g.

        BLOCK LAYER DEVICE DRIVER API [RUST]
        MEMORY MANAGEMENT - RUST

  - Sometimes they add them into the existing entry but with an added
"(RUST)" after their names, e.g. Boqun in LOCKING PRIMITIVES:

        M:    Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@...il.com> (LOCKDEP & RUST)

Cheers,
