Yeah we have lots of MAINTAINERS entries for all the various things
maintained as part of drm-misc. Only thing I'm encouraging is that
everything has at least a T: git repo entry pointing at drm-misc
somewhere, to have some easy overview of what's under the drm-misc
umbrella. But the overall drm panel entry has that covered already.
And we also have some other more specific entries for individual
panels already.
