Hi Jeff.

I think it's unwise to have 10 named maintainers for all
the intel ethernet drivers if there are specialists
maintainers.

Maybe it'd be better to break out these sub-maintainers
into specific driver sections with you as the overall
maintainer.

Maybe add an internal exploder to get all the various
maintainers on a list if everyone really looks at all
patches to intel drivers.

Something like:

INTEL ETHERNET DRIVERS
M:	Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@...el.com>
M:	Intel Linux Support <linux.drivers@...el.com>
T:	git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net.git
T:	git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next.git
S:	Supported
F:	drivers/net/ethernet/intel/

INTEL ETHERNET E1000 DRIVER
M:	Tushar Dave <tushar.n.dave@...el.com>
S:	Supported
F:	drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/
F:	Documentation/networking/e1000.txt

etc...
