MAINTAINERS: Update the MODULE SUPPORT section

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Update the MODULE SUPPORT section

Posted by Petr Pavlu 11 months, 1 week ago

Change my role for MODULE SUPPORT from a reviewer to a maintainer. We
started to rotate its maintainership and I currently look after the modules
tree. This not being reflected in MAINTAINERS proved to confuse folks.

Add lib/tests/module/ and tools/testing/selftests/module/ to maintained
files. They were introduced previously by commit 84b4a51fce4c ("selftests:
add new kallsyms selftests").

And as a further note to Linus:

Petr, Sami and Daniel had volunteered to help with maintenance to help
with Rust module support. My requesto to the Rust community was that
while I don't speak Rust I'd be happy to support Rust provided we get
volunteers from the Rust community to help with maintenance of *both*
the C and Rust code. The Rust community came back strong with 3
volunteers.

To help with ramp up I decided that after a few months of them being
reviewers we'd rotate them to be the main maintainer for 6 months each.
Petr has been doing this since around November of last year and he's
been doing an incredible job. Next up will be Daniel and then 6 months
after Sami.
