Aha I see. Well this per-panel entry is good because then
get_maintainer.pl will also get me specifically and not just
the people listed for panel/drm-misc (whether I am, was
or will be a member of that group or not).

get_maintainer.pl will present all of them with me on
top:

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-tpo-tpg110.c
Linus Walleij <linus.walleij at linaro.org> (maintainer:DRM DRIVER FOR
TPO TPG110 PANELS)
Thierry Reding <thierry.reding at gmail.com> (maintainer:DRM PANEL DRIVERS)
David Airlie <airlied at linux.ie> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS)
Daniel Vetter <daniel at ffwll.ch> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS)
dri-devel at lists.freedesktop.org (open list:DRM PANEL DRIVERS)
linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org (open list)

So I would advice against the above practice: one does not
exclude the other.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
