Just as a hint - the Linux kernel has a pretty good grasp on this topic
with the MAINTAINERS[1] file. There's a script alongside it[2] which
can find maintainers even for a presented patch. That helps _a lot_ to
automatically find the responsible people.
Of course in Emacs we could integrate that better, but comparable
functionality would be nice to have ;)
Cheers
Detlev
