I don't think we can put a list as maintainer, maintainers (and
reviewers) should be explicit. We can definitely put the list as Cc with
L: though :)

It's been accepted for Unicam
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/MAINTAINERS#L4178-L4183

bcm-kernel-feedback-list@broadcom.com is listed as reviewer for a fair
number of entries.

I'd prefer it to be more than just a list as it's obviously not an
open list, but I don't really mind.

I think it's somewhat different in the case of v4l2, you're the one
taking the patches and sending a PR iirc. In drm-misc, there's a
significant chance someone else will apply it.

It's also a matter of signalling to the rest of the kernel community how
important a review is: if I get a review of someone on a patch that
isn't listed in MAINTAINERS, then it's valid but not enough for me to
merge it.

If it's from a reviewer, then it carries more weight, and if it's from a
maintainer, then it's pretty much the final word.

That only works if we explicitly put names in MAINTAINERS.

But I also don't care how many maintainers or reviewers you want to put
in MAINTAINERS, so it's not gatekeeping. It's mostly just around
documenting what the situation will be :)
