from iproute2/MAINTAINERS file:
 Ethernet Bridging - bridge
 M: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@...dia.com>
 M: Nikolay Aleksandrov <razor@...ckwall.org>
 L: bridge@...ts.linux-foundation.org (moderated for non-subscribers)
 F: bridge/*

Unrelated - I just noticed we have to add a few more F: lines there, I'll send a patch.

In addition to maintainers, please always add reviewers of previous patch versions.

Cheers,
