Make sure that no parts of the codebase that you maintain are missing from the
@file{MAINTAINERS} file. If something that you want to maintain is missing add it with
your name after it.
If at some point you no longer want to maintain some code, then please help
finding a new maintainer and also don't forget updating the @file{MAINTAINERS} file.
