admin/MAINTAINERS

[Eli Zaretskii]

Would people who have interest in maintaining specific parts of Emacs
please reflect those interests in admin/MAINTAINERS?  I hope the
instructions at the beginning of that file are self-explanatory; if
not, please ask questions here.

Stefan, I'm not sure what to do with your entries, please change them
(or not) as you see fit.

Thanks.

I just added an entry for doc-view (myself) and the RefTeX files where I
have written "The GNU AUCTeX Maintainers".  I guess such
non-single-person entries are ok, right?

It's OK, but would it make sense to add some information about who
those maintainers are, or how/where to reach them?  I mean, suppose
we'd need to ask them something, how would we go about writing to
them?

Thanks.

I added the email address of our development list to that entry.

What about also adding contact information for single-person entries?
So, suppose I'd need to ask something about Tramp, if there's contact
information in admin/MAINTAINERS, then I don't need to find his email
address in ChangeLog files or other places.

Fine with me, but please note that email addresses of people tend to
change much more frequently than those of mailing lists.  So if we put
our addresses there, we will be asking people to keep them up to
date.  If no one minds, let's do that.

Count me among those who'll definitely forget to update it.
